Talk:Mark O'Connell (bishop)

Restored middle name
In edit 781394015, user Mmocallston4 removed the middle name of Bp. O'Connell from the article, and left the edit summary: "(Bishop does not use the middle name William. This editor is his sister.)"

Thanks to user MMocallston4 for this goodwill edit, but I have restored the information. A person's choice to use or not use his full legal name is not a basis for removing valid information from a Wikipedia article. In addition, the bishop's dissertation is listed in Google Books with his full name, so the fact is documented. --Bistropha (talk) 06:38, 21 May 2017 (UTC)

From Margaret O'Connell, May 21, 2017:

Just because this middle name, a Confirmation name, which is not on the birth certificate, was used to author his JCD dissertation, does not mean it should be used on this wikipedia page which should be accurate. Here are several official sites about my brother Mark which do not use William. Please restore my edit. Archdiocese of Boston "Archbishop, Bishops, Vicars" web page: http://www.bostoncatholic.org/About-The-Archdiocese/Content.aspx?id=11878 St Theresa North Reading where Mark is the pastor: http://www.sttheresanreading.org/contact-us.html Ordination Web Site: http://ordination2016.com/home/about-us/bishop-elect-mark-oconnell-jcd/ I can provide more but you get the point, I certainly hope! Catholic-Hierarchy.org which is NOT approved by any Catholic Church authority initially made this error but its author, David M. Cheney, irresponsibly does not reply to email request for change.
