Talk:Catholic Apostolic National Church of Brazil

Translated from Portuguese
I translated this page from the Portuguese equivalent, leaving out a complex prelude about various attempts to create a Brazilian national church which probably needs its own article. I am not an expert on this denomination, nor am I fluent in Portuguese, so I would be overjoyed if someone who was one of these or both checked over my article.

 * Wouldn't a more literal translation of the church name be "Brazilian Catholic Apostolic Church"? I don't know Portuguese either, but "Brasileira" looks like an adjective to me, i.e. "Brazilian".  Adding to the confusion is the slightly different word order in the name of the international communion (ICAN): the "Catholic Apostolic National Church" (I'm not sure of this translation either, because the word Nacionais has a different suffix (-ais) than the other words in the name).  Right now I'm wishing I'd studied a little Portuguese!  Anyhow, it's hard to figure out a good English translation for ICAB.  Timotheos 16:25, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Timotheos,

You're not the first one to ask this. I inherited the English name from the reference on the CEC page, and built the page to catch the dead link. I guess the real person to ask would be whoever started the CEC page. I'll probably look around on the net for an official English ICAB page in a second and see what they call it. If the other title turns out to be proper, it'll be really easy to fix: we'll just need to copy the wiki source for this page and paste it into a better named one, then set up a redirect here. By the way, the CEC page looks wonderful. How the heck is it that none of us ever thought to write a section on worship before now!? Kennethmyers 02:19, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
 * The "only official" ICAN affiliate (CANC) seems to usually refer to the Brazilian Church as the Brazilian Catholic Apostolic Church. See their archbishop's webpage.  So I'd vote for a rename and redirect.  Timotheos 03:32, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

Let's Do the Time Warp Again!

 * When, in the following year, Dom Carlos denounced the Odessa Operation, which was organized by the Vatican in order to facilitate the escape of Nazi officers, he was excommunicated by Pope Pius XI.

Okay, now Pope Pius XI died in 1939. Could the intended reference be to Pius XII? —12.72.69.2 20:59, 24 July 2006 (UTC)
