Roman Catholic Church / Catholic Church The name of this article is a matter of long-standing contention, upon which editors of this article have failed to agree. Please familiarise yourself with the reasons for this disagreement and relevant Wikipedia policies and guidelines, such as WP:NPOV, WP:NC, WP:NC(CN), WP:NCON and WP:DAB, before posting on this matter on this talk page. Wikipedia accepts that both "Catholic Church" and "Roman Catholic Church" are widely used to refer to the subject of this article and does not take a position on which is considered more theologically “correct”. The current name of the page is not intended to imply that either the term "Roman Catholic Church" is preferred or the term "Catholic Church" is discouraged in the text of Wikipedia articles. The name should also not be used as a precedent for the naming of any other articles in Wikipedia. Please, do not change instances of the terms "Roman Catholic Church" or "Catholic Church" in the text of any page without a good context-based rationale and the consent of the editors of that article. In particular, do not rename any articles related to the Catholic Church or Catholicism without first achieving a consensus to do so. Rather than debating whether to include or exclude the word "Roman", please consider other ways you can improve the quality of articles in Wikipedia. |
