Neutrality and point of view problem[edit]

The passage below reads as if it were copied from a partisan pamphlet. Moreover, it's not sourced, and given that it's making an extraordinarily strong claim, some authoritative support is necessary. King William I of the Netherlands attempted to establish a religiously neutral state, which some Belgian Catholics interpreted as an attack on the Catholic Church in Belgium.

"...owing to the persecution of religious institutes by William of Orange-Nassau, King of the Netherlands. To compel them to remain in status quo, to hold diplomas obtained only after rigid examinations in Dutch and French by state officials, to furnish almost endless accounts and writings regarding convents, schools, finances, and subjects, were some of the measures adopted to harass and destroy all teaching institutes; but Mother St. Joseph's tact, clear-sightedness, and zeal for souls saved the institute. During his tour in 1829, King William visited the establishment at Namur and was so pleased that he created the mother-general a Dutch subject. The Revolution of 1830 and the assumption of the crown of Belgium by Léopold of Saxe-Gotha put an end to the petty persecutions of religious."

Issues[edit]

I plan to update the material in the article on Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur. The material that is there is correct but outdated. The material came from a article in 1921 the Catholic Encyclopedia. It needs the updating. Rig8ney 14:50, 18 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The article includes information about the expansion of this group. What about the current number of religious sisters? Whether that is rising or falling? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.138.131.238 (talk) 21:17, 2 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
