Talk:Antipope Clement III

POV
This article appears to be based mainly or wholly on the Catholic Encyclopedia, and reflects its hostile view of Clement III. Incorporating material from historians of the Investiture Controversy should make it possible to produce an article which adopts a neutral tone. Dudley Miles (talk) 13:03, 17 November 2010 (UTC)

Dudley Miles is correct. Neutral treatments of Clement III/Wibert of Ravenna are rare and also difficult to write, given that most of the documentation pertinent to Clement's long pontificate was destroyed after his death, and much of what survives consists of polemical literature written by his enemies. Useful books: J. Ziese, Wibert von Ravenna. Der Gegenpapst Clemens III (1084-1100), Stuttgart 1982 (Päpst und Papsttum, 29); R. Rusconi, Santo padre. La santità del papa da san Pietro a Giovanni Paolo II, Rome 2010, p. 47-48.

As of 3 August 2012 I have integrated some new bibliography into the article and changed out-of-date and biased terms. I did not edit most of the biographical details, which in the old entry, and thus in the entry as it now exists, were drawn alrgely from the Catholic Encyclopedia of 1913. The major problems with the article, however, as Mr. Miles observed, lay in the hostile approach to Clement III inherent in the article in its previous form, and I hope to have resolved them with these edits.Lila Yawn (talk) 15:57, 3 August 2012 (UTC)
