 * As above, Wikipedia is not a link repository and list articles are expect to link to other Wikipedia articles (WP:ELNO #20). ✤ JonHarder talk 18:26, 22 August 2010 (UTC)


 * In case anybody looks at this page and thinks the above deserves an answer, see WP:Other stuff exists. Currently, also see Articles for deletion/List of Old Catholic Churches. - Fayenatic (talk) 17:49, 27 October 2008 (UTC)

Dominican Section
I added back the entry deleted 14:58, 5 January 2015‎ by BishopMichaelOPI. Bishop Michael left the order to form his own and had no right to delete or modify the existing entry. He should have instead added his new "independent" entity, which is not at all Old Catholic. 2602:306:3B98:EE60:A528:ED68:E0EA:3A33 (talk) 13:22, 20 September 2015 (UTC)kjnelan

Split request
We don't need to scatter around this information too much. Much of the contents on background and context here could well be merged with Independent Catholicism, and plain list data with List of Christian denominations comme-il-faut. Chicbyaccident (talk) 17:53, 15 October 2017 (UTC)

Problems
This article has glaring problems:
 * 1) Not limited to notable organizations. This is not necessarily a problem in itself, but combined with the rest, it means trouble.
 * 2) Largely unsourced. There needs to be a citation for each list item that indicates its identification or association with Independent Catholicism.
 * 3) Organized by stance on sexuality. Is there some rationale for singling out this set of traits? Once again, where are the WP:RS indicating where they might belong? Given the fluidity of doctrine in this movement... how long have they been classified this way, and how long has it been since anyone checked if they still belonged there? 2600:8800:1880:9A3:5604:A6FF:FE38:4B26 (talk) 01:56, 13 January 2019 (UTC)

Christ Catholic Church "historic"?
What makes it historic? they're all historic, aren't they? --142.163.195.197 (talk) 01:32, 13 December 2020 (UTC)
 * and the link seems wrong. This article says founded by Pruter, but the linked article says "for the church founded by Pruter, see "Christ Catholic Church (Pruter)" --142.163.195.197 (talk) 01:34, 13 December 2020 (UTC)

"Catholic"
My understanding is that the Roman Catholic Church is located at Catholic Church and the broader meaning is covered at Catholic (term), so the latter is the relevant target. Is this incorrect? – Scyrme (talk) 23:20, 16 December 2022 (UTC)


 * The term 'Catholic' refers to the much broader meaning of the word. Catholicism refers to the specific Christian faith and tradition found within Western Christianity. There is no equivalent to the article Eastern Orthodoxy for Catholicism. Veverve (talk) 23:28, 16 December 2022 (UTC)
 * How about Catholicity? It describes itself: "This article is about the body of beliefs which are described as "catholic"." That seems more appropriate than targeting the Roman Catholic Church, which these churches are not a part of. – Scyrme (talk) 00:10, 17 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Most Christian denomination claim to have catholicity, i.e. to be an universal body. Veverve (talk) 00:33, 17 December 2022 (UTC)
 * I still don't understand the problem with linking Catholicity. That article covers the nuances in extensive detail, whereas linking to the article for the Roman Catholic Church seems clearly incorrect. – Scyrme (talk) 00:39, 17 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Most Christian denominations claim catholicity, not only those who claim to be of Catholic heritate without being in communion with the Holy See (e.g., not only Sedevacantists, the SSPX, or the Ukrainian Orthodox Greek Catholic Church; indeed, most Lutherans and Calvinists, as well as the Eastern Orthodox Church, also claim to have catholicity). Veverve (talk) 00:52, 17 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Yes, and this is explained at and . Linking to this information is more helpful than sending people to the article about the Church which is in communion the Holy See.
 * Another option which would be more helpful would be to link to . If you feel the explanation there is better, it may linked instead. – Scyrme (talk) 14:43, 17 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Done. Thanks for your suggestion. Veverve (talk) 21:27, 17 December 2022 (UTC)
