Baptism

edit

I think the CCC summary is better. It is certainly more authoritative. It contains, I think, all you gave except the question of the sacramental character or seal. That is mentioned in CCC 1280, just after my quotation. I omitted it for brevity (there is no need to give the whole teaching of the Church at this point), but if you think it should be included, put CCC 1280 in too. The present text is shorter than yours was.

"To be fully effective, infant baptism must be completed ..." is open to serious misinterpretation, as if it denied the ex opere operato efficacy of baptism. Yes, I know you didn't mean that. But defending against such misinterpretations would require adding complex explanations. And aren't "catechesis, Eucharist, and Confirmation" required for adults no less than for children? Personally, I am convinced that nothing more than "Yes" should be put in that box. I added the CCC quote only to prevent reappearance of what I consider to be in some way misleading.

If you wish to discuss this on the Talk page, then, by all means, go ahead. I'll look at the page tomorrow. Lima 15:40, 30 November 2006 (UTC)Reply

Note to Self Re: Vandalism

edit

Be sure to put warning tags on the vandal's user talk page (such as {{subst:test}}, {{subst:test2}}, {{subst:test3}}, {{subst:test4}}). Add each of these tags on the vandal's talk page, in sequential order, after each instance of vandalism. Adding warnings to the talk page assists administrators in determining whether or not the user should be blocked. If the user continues to vandalize pages after you add the {{subst:test4}} tag, request administrator assistance at Request for Intervention.

disgusting image

it's showing up all over wiki but i don't know how to revert it. Andman8 03:27, 23 December 2006 (UTC)Reply

Since it's not in the code, it must be a hack. It would be good if an admin could speedily delete it soon. Freder1ck 06:43, 23 December 2006 (UTC)Freder1ckReply

A deletion discussion in which you voted, that of Template:Catholic-link, is up for deletion review, where the template may be deleted or retained depending upon the review discussion. You are welcome to comment and/or vote at Wikipedia:Deletion review#Template:Catholic-link. The key point of this discussion is whether the "default keep by no consensus" result was correct; discussion of the template itself is secondary (but may still be important). — coelacan talk04:39, 16 January 2007 (UTC)Reply

ArbCom elections are now open!

edit

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
