Talk:God in Catholicism

Merge with Catholic views on God

As proposed by Manannan67.

• Support as proposed. PPEMES (talk) 23:02, 2 August 2019 (UTC)
• Support makes sense, both articles talk about the same thing (Pseudo-Dionysius the areopagite (talk) 20:24, 10 August 2019 (UTC))
• Support. Both articles are about the same topic. Their content can be integrated with each other. Note Catholic views on God was previously called Catholic Concept of the Divine; I renamed it to its current title back in 2016. The God in Catholicism article was only created this year, which is why I didn't propose any such merger at the time. The title "Catholic Concept of the Divine" dates to 2004, when its content was split out of the Divine article (which has since become Divine (disambiguation)), which content had originally been copied from the Divine Attributes article of the 1917 Catholic Encyclopedia.

God in Catholicism → God in the Catholic Church – Per WP:CONSISTENCY with Catholic Church. PPEMES (talk) 23:57, 17 December 2019 (UTC)

• Support, per PPREMES. Randy Kryn (talk) 00:47, 18 December 2019 (UTC)
• Oppose. Almost makes it sound like God is a church member. Srnec (talk) 03:21, 18 December 2019 (UTC)
• Oppose Per User:Srnec._{ZXCVBNM (TALK)} 11:47, 18 December 2019 (UTC)

If you refer to Catholicism, how do you explain its redirect to its WP:COMMONNAME? PPEMES (talk) 13:31, 18 December 2019 (UTC)

• Oppose Per above. "A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds ..." -R.W.Emerson Manannan67 (talk) 04:11, 19 December 2019 (UTC)
• Oppose The church is an institution, but Catholicism is a belief system. The description of God is as understood in the belief system.2601:640:4000:3170:2458:7CCA:F9B:E398 (talk) 06:20, 19 December 2019 (UTC)

Merge with God in Christianity

Several issues with the article have been highlighted: synthesis of material which does not verifiably mention or relate to the main topic; and original research. The content is mostly a series of quotes strung together with some minimal commentary. I don't think time needs to be taken to improve the article because it appears that most of the topic duplicates God in Christianity. I don't see any content in this article that is not already covered in the Christianity article, or cannot be easily incorporated. Moreover there is no comparable related topics: we have Jesus in Christianity, Holy Spirit in Christianity, God the Father, etc., but no distinct Catholic articles for those topics. I think this article can be easily incorporated into the main topic. --Hazhk (talk) 17:23, 22 January 2021 (UTC)
