Talk:Pope Siricius

Untitled
Although the Website Religion Facts says that Pope Siricius was the first Bishop of Rome to style himself Pope, more weighty resources say that the title of Pope was from the early third century used for any bishop in the West.

For quotations like this, people really need to QUOTE from those 'more weighty sources'. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Stygian-sulfur (talk • contribs) 03:47, 10 January 2009 (UTC)

There is a reference to the Oxford Dictionary of the Christian Church now, I see. That paragraph reads rather oddly: it links to the religionfacts website, then dismisses the that site's underlying sources. It would make sense to quote the consensus view first (presumably this is 'title of Pope was from the early third century used for any bishop in the West') followed by the minority viewpoint.
