Talk:Apostolic succession

Templates

why we dont add the Template:Eastern Orthodox Church sidebar, Template:Roman Catholic Church and the Template:Anglicanism, since this article is in all of them? (The Sr Guy (talk) 20:50, 16 February 2020 (UTC)).

I oppose this suggestion. Wikipedia has to be very careful to not show any degree of bias. If you read the article, several other denominations have some sort of perspective on apostolic succession. Most of those have templates. It's inappropriate to single one, two, or three templates as if those are favored. And even if we did include only three, which one goes at the top, which also would suggest greater importance? This is unnecessary because the article is not about a concept specific to denominations, and all of information is well explained in the article. It also would crowd the article to include the template for every denomination that claims some type of apostolic succession, resulting in most of the right side of the page taken up by templates.

Confessional Lutheranism section

The Confessional Lutheranism section is unnecessary. Half of it is just an apologetic attack on Catholicism, that seems more in place for a Lutheran Wiki than Wikipedia. It delves into topics and arguments irrelevant to Apostolic Succession, such as whether popes have historic succession to Peter or not. I think it should be deleted. 97.94.132.180 (talk) 01:53, 20 October 2024 (UTC)
