Talk:Pope Francis

Dirty War — needs rewrite

This section could not be understood by anyone who doesn't already know the story, and should be totally rewritten. The "Dirty War" is never defined in the article. The section also talks about a "dictatorship", a "junta", and "death squads" but gives very little detail. A reader shouldn't have to go to another page to get a basic description. The section begins: "Bergoglio was the subject of allegations regarding the kidnapping of two Jesuit priests during Argentina's Dirty War." This is very vague and ambiguous. He was the subject of allegations during the Dirty War? The word "kidnapping" is later interchanged with "arrest" and "imprisonment", which is confusing. The names of the priests are only mentioned several sentences later. Why? It is briefly suggested that the Navy kidnapped the priests, but no motive or context are given. Then: "He feared for the priests' safety and had tried to change their work prior to their arrest; however, contrary to reports, he never tried to throw them out of the Jesuit order." This sentence does not follow on from the previous one. What are the allegations? (In fact we never find out.) His position at this point, and his relationship to the priests, are not explained. When did he fear for the priests' safety? What does "change their work" mean? What was wrong with their work, in his eyes? Why would he have thrown them out of the Jesuit order? It goes on from there with mangled syntax and elliptical allusions. Then we have a whole list of testimonials which don't seem directly related to the kidnapping.--Jack Upland (talk) 10:24, 29 January 2019 (UTC)

Pope Francis: Better to be an atheist than a hypocrite. Better to be an atheist than a non-atheist. Better to be an atheist. Atheist. Personhood is more fundamental than the Universe. Personhood pre-existed the Universe. We mortals don't have infinite power, but a fellow person named god, pre-existed the Universe. Don't study metalogic. Be a mereological simpleton. God being a misconception, doesn't have more fundamental components as memories, moving chunks of information and informational interactions. Be a hypocrite. Be Hindu. Mimic the religion of your parents. Don't be a Catholic because it opens the door to philosophy, science and atheism. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A02:587:4118:9000:7D4A:1441:CDA4:6D52 (talk) 03:10, 15 February 2019 (UTC)

Criticism in a Biography of a Living Person must be sourced to a Secondary Source.

Per WP:BLPSTYLE, criticism may only be included in a biography of a living person if it is sourced to a reliable secondary source. All of the sources given in the "Controversies" section of this article are to news reports and columns, which are primary sources by official Wikipedia policy per WP:PRIMARYNEWS. As such, the entire section on "Controversies" in this article needs to be deleted, as does the section on Archbishop Vigano and statements to the effect that Amoris Laetitia is "controversial".PluniaZ (talk) 18:35, 27 February 2019 (UTC)

Since no one is discussing this on the Talk Page but is instead edit warring on the article page, I will be reporting this violation of WP:BLP to the BLP notice board.PluniaZ (talk) 18:02, 1 March 2019 (UTC)
