Writers "informed by" Roman Catholicism
Anyone watching this page is likely to be interested in the discussion Talk:James Joyce. Should writers (like Joyce) who have publicly renounced the church but continue to use its themes and forms be categorized as Roman Catholic writers? If not, what is the appropriate category to indicate their relationship to Catholicism? This might be the best place to continue the discussion, but I'm not sure the cat herds can be moved.

 * I should note that the idea that he renounced his faith is not universally accepted. As noted in the James Joyce article, a good number of biographers and critics, including some who knew him personally, maintain that he reconciled in some regard with the Church or that he never fully left. Even if he was and remained a complete apostate, it should be noted because of his deeply Catholic imagination reliable sources regularly discuss him when discussing Catholic writers. I would assert that his is the basis for inclusion, because reliable sources regularly include him when discussing this category. Mamalujo (talk) 20:05, 5 November 2010 (UTC)
 * As discussed at the Joyce page, I believe he belongs in the category because he matches the definition at Category:Roman Catholics. --John (User:Jwy/talk) 20:49, 5 November 2010 (UTC)
