Talk:Catholic Church in France

POV
At the moment, this page has serious NPOV problems- it reads as though written by an anti-clericalist. Not quite Diderot "the last King strangled by the guts of the last priest", but bad enough. I'll continue to make edits & emendations, but I'm not an expert on the subject. Gabrielthursday 21:39, 31 August 2006 (UTC)


 * Without specific objections there is no way to make corrections, and the page should not be saddled with an NPOV tag for months on end with no action. Sylvain1972 18:20, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

I'm struggling to decide whether the article suffers from POV issues or just needs to be cleaned up. It's an interesting topic and I'm sure a heck of a lot more can be written (if I'm not mistaken, France has the largest population of Catholics in Europe). The article does need serious clean-up and needs to add references. --Kimon 15:39, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

Atheism and Agnostic percentage?
On this article, it says that 54% of the french are atheists or agnostics. However, in the article on France, it says that only 27% is secular. Can someone clear this up. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Frenchy77 (talk • contribs) 20:35, August 27, 2007 (UTC)


 * Im guessing that this is untrue because you guys don't know what your talking about....

Roman Catholicism in France → Catholic Church in France – In consistancy with other equivalent articles, including Catholic Church, Catholic Church in England and Wales, Catholic Church in the United States, etc. Chicbyaccident (talk) 14:16, 2 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep If consistency is the criterion, then this nomination must fail since almost all other articles in the Category:Roman Catholic Church by country category uses the current naming convention. If it's consistency you want, stick with "Roman Catholicism in Foo". I suspect that some other criterion may be involved in this nomination. If so, please make it explicit.

WW1 & WW2
Seems to me the article jumps from 1801 to 2021 rather abruptly. Surely a paragraph or 2 on Vichy, the resistence to Hitler, etc would be worthwhile? Unless you feel another article already covers this? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 36.11.229.196 (talk) 08:42, 28 April 2022 (UTC)
