Talk:Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Seattle

Untitled

I've edited the part about the Archbishop demanding priests collect signatures for the Referendum. There was never any requirement for any parish or priest to do this and the Archbishop merely stated his support for it. Many orthodox parishes very obedient to the Archbishop, such as Blessed Sacrament Parish in Seattle, never circulated the petitions at all for this very reason. There was nothing rebellious about it, because it was only a suggestion.

As riveting as The Stranger's libel is, there is simply no justification for implying otherwise here. The petitions were voluntary and were not forced upon any church, but the previous language on this page would imply otherwise.

I tagged this for cleanup because too much of the vocabulary is technical (e.g. suffragan, incumbent ordinary, etc). RJFJR 17:54, 7 December 2005 (UTC)

Surely those words can be linked? --Lukobe 06:49, 15 February 2006 (UTC)

We should consider adding a section/list about the past and present Auxiliary Bishops. Safesler 06:01, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

Referendum 74

This church's stance on Referendum 74 needs to be included in the article.

From the Referendum 74 article https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Washington_Referendum_74

" Opposition to the bill was coordinated largely by the National Organization for Marriage (NOM) and the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Seattle, which encouraged support for rejecting the bill among all parishes.[23] Parishes planned "in-pew donations as part of what it is calling Preserve Marriage month" and NOM was expected to bring in additional money from outside the state.[24][25] " I think this should be included in the article on this church. Deeply seated opposition like this should not be whitewashed from their history. 2600:1700:7A51:10B0:14:5AF2:3C64:7AB2 (talk) 14:09, 20 August 2019 (UTC)
