Talk:Pope Benedict XVI

was pope

Please read MOS:BLP#Tense. We do not use "was" for people who are still alive! Honestly, when this change first went through I had to Google to assure myself he hadn't died. Elizium23 (talk) 18:51, 21 January 2015 (UTC)

Didn't the lack of a death date after the birth date tip you off? I've no problem if you'd rather refer to him as Pope Emeritus, just reword more carefully. He wasn't that from 2005 till 2013. InedibleHulk (talk) 18:54, January 21, 2015 (UTC)

No, you change it now. I have no wish to go edit-warring about this stupid change that should have been left alone in the first place. Elizium23 (talk) 18:55, 21 January 2015 (UTC)

Right... InedibleHulk (talk) 18:59, January 21, 2015 (UTC)

I made an adjustment to ...served as pope.... GoodDay (talk) 19:00, 21 January 2015 (UTC)

Archive Index lists talk page contents, not archive contents...

Basically, the headline tells my story: The link "Index" that stands between the word "Archive" and the list of numbered pages, gives a page that lists the contents of this talk page, NOT the contents of the archive... Autokefal Dialytiker (talk) 18:29, 19 May 2015 (UTC)

Polemics

To the author. I have much respect for the academic rigors employed in your piece. I read father Joseph from a different set of underlying assumptions. Though appreciative of the academic, I am not one. My foundational perspective flows from a faith many do not share. I am a "small c catholic" but embrace the Catholic religion as the home of my faith. My bias stated, I sees a man of great intellect who cautions against reliance on platonic argument. I hear a careful scholar who embraces all well-founded knowledge, but is not bound by it and warns against binding to it. Your article is not flawed, but causes me to wonder if you consider the full effect of your own foundational bias. I learned my need to question myself in my first real university course. My history professor "showed us his underwear" and then advised us to take what he said remembering that grain of salt. The only idea he rejected was the unfounded one. Again, I much appreciate the efforts and care you employ and understand why your piece was nominated for recognition. All I can do is give you mine. 76.92.236.214 (talk) 12:15, 30 May 2015 (UTC)Bill Kleine, no sources or references, just a guy
