Talk:Roman Catholic Diocese of Hong Kong

Title

Should the title of this article be changed to "Bishop of Hong Kong Diocese of the Catholic Church"? The Anglican Church in Hong Kong and Macao is a province and has an archbishop. — Instantnood 07:45, May 17, 2005 (UTC)

History

Is the Catholic Diocese of Hong Kong still nominally subordinate to the Archdiocese of Canton? — Instantnood 20:41, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

I don't know the answer specifically, but I can tell you that if, as the article states, the diocese reports directly to the pope, then it is "exempt" from being a "suffragan" diocese, that is, one which is subordinate to an archdiocese. The article on diocese needs to be expanded: currently, archdiocese and metropolitan archdiocese both redirect there, which isn't particularly helpful! Laura1822 06:24, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

Help please

I have added a lot of historical information I gleaned from the Diocesan website (which has a timeline of historical events) about the pre-diocesan history; I also copied the article in the 1913 Catholic Encyclopedia. I have cleaned it up, but it still has a long way to go. Please help, especially regarding placenames and wikilinks. I'm not very familiar with Hong Kong (though I just learned a lot!). Also, there is very little about the present diocese, so that's ready for expansion! Laura1822 06:28, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
