Talk:Greek-Catholic Melkite Church

Oops. Yes merge. I just noticed on religious leaders it had no information on Melkites.--T. Anthony 09:40, 27 August 2005 (UTC)

This article is factually incorrect in stating that the Melkite Church is still an Oriental Orthodox Church. It cannot be such if it is in full communion with Rome. Do not merge.


 * The article on the Melkite Catholic Church, the one I created so there'd be a link at the list of religious leaders, does not say they are Oriental Orthodox and might be more accurate. However a merger could eventually lead to inaccurate statements in both articles being dropped and that's why I supported it back when.--T. Anthony 13:02, 5 October 2005 (UTC)

It share the rite with the oriental orthodoy churches. And are you sure about not merging? What's the difference to the Melkite Catholic Church church?


 * This article is misleading. The Melkites are Byzantine Christians in/from the Levant and Egypt who converted to Catholicism. They generally use Arabic as their liturgical language. They are not Oriental Orthodox in the slightest. The article on Melkite Catholic Church is talking about the same body, but is more accurate. I believe a merge should take place, but most of the misinformaton in this article should not be carried across. The merge should go ahead because we do not want two articles about exactly the same subject. The inaccuracies of one article should not prevent this. --Gareth Hughes 14:30, 5 October 2005 (UTC)


 * I've changed Melkite from a redirect to an article on the term. I felt that this was important because the term covers a little more than this church. It might also be a good basis for improving this article. --Gareth Hughes 16:14, 5 October 2005 (UTC)
