Pacem in TerrisPacem in terris – The document is referred to by its incipit, the first words of the text. Those first words are "Pacem in terris", not "Pacem in Terris", as can be seen on the Vatican website here. --Relisted.

  • Support rename. This is a foreign-language term and should follow the conventions of that language. The extra capital letters are an English-language convention that was imposed. Elizium23 (talk) 16:42, 16 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support: It's not a title, but an incipit, per nom, and even if it were a title, the foreign language capitalisation (or non-) would apply in this case anyway, per Elizium23.  — SMcCandlish ¢ ≽ʌⱷ҅ʌ≼  02:22, 18 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • I was surprised to see such mixed capitalization in Category:Papal encyclicals. We can probably agree that they should be consistent. --BDD (talk) 15:14, 22 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

tense[edit]

This article refers the the item in the past tense ("it was"), while articles on works of art, literature, etc., generally use the present ("it is"). Should this be changed?
