Please change the following sentence:
The 2,834 sees[261] are grouped into 23 particular rites, the largest being the Latin Church, each with distinct traditions regarding the liturgy and the administering the sacraments.[262]
to:

I am requesting this because Pope Francis added a new particular rite (the Eritrean Catholic Church) in 2015, so there is now the Latin rite plus 23 Oriental rites, for a total of 24 particular rites. This fact is documented in the [1] page.

Roots in Judaism
I was reading the lede and rest of the introduction today, and wondered at the lack of mention of Judaism / Jewish tradition and its impact on Christianity. Given that Jesus was a Jew and that many of his teachings, quotations and parables are rooted either in the Tanakh aka Old Testament or in Jewish tradition, it seems that at least a brief mention should be made.

- Anyone? If there is no opposition, or indeed even any conversation, on this, then I'll go ahead and add it. Jtrevor99 (talk) 19:16, 9 February 2015 (UTC)
- It is mentioned in the first sentence that Christianity is a Abrahamic religion. That covers it. I guess people aren't commenting because it has been discussed to death. See the archives via the search tool at the top of this talk page. Richard-of-Earth (talk) 19:48, 9 February 2015 (UTC)
- I'd really like to know how I missed the rather obvious "Abrahamic" statement - three times. Whoops. Jtrevor99 (talk) 00:24, 10 February 2015 (UTC)

The Differences Between Christianity and Catholicism
A common theme I see on Wikipedia is that Christianity based on the Bible and and Catholicism are the same with minor discrepancies. This is not the case. While the Catholic church holds doctrine that lines up with the Bible, other doctrines held by the Catholic church so exceedingly differ from Scripture that Christianity and Catholicism can not be seen as the same with minor differences. For example, the infallibility of the pope while teaching, transubstantiation, and the rest of the sacraments ("rest" complementing transubstantiation; the infallibility of the pope while teaching is not a sacrament.)
I believe the difference needs to be expressed throughout when Catholicism is mentioned and a section about how Biblical Christianity and Catholicism differ is written. I can write this article, if need be.

This is really dumb. Catholicism is not only a form of Christianity, it's the single largest form of Christianity.
If your definition of Christianity does not include Catholicism, your definition of Christianity is wrong.

jonestown massacres and other sects
Should sects like jonestown and unusal sects preaching the coming of jesus in the year 2000 , rapture sects be included— Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.49.190.88 (talk • contribs)
- Wikipedia operates off of due weight. Most of those are blip in across the planet for the past two millennia. Ian.thomson (talk) 16:54, 19 April 2015 (UTC)
