Talk:Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Chicago

Untitled
When did John Paul II elevate the see of Chicago to honorary primatial status? I thought that dignity still belonged to the Archbishop of Baltimore. Can anybody give me some info or a source? Pmadrid 07:52, 13 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Largest Sees in the United States
More population info:
 * Chicago has 2.44 million Catholics now.
 * New York archdiocese has 2.47 million Catholics. In 2001, it had only 2.37 million compared to Chicago's 2.38, so it only inched out Chicago recently.
 * Los Angeles archdiocese, though, has 4 million Catholics. It is the largest in the United States.

Preeminent see
So I took this off the page:


 * It has been deemed by the Holy See as the Preeminent See of the United States due to the international fame and popularity of its archbishops...

I have yet to find any text from the Roman Curia or a pope calling Chicago "the preeminent see." If someone has a quote from a pope or a dicastery, please provide it. Pmadrid 14:14, 2 September 2005 (UTC)

I know this is old, but DYK: the preeminent sees in the USA are Baltimore and New Orleans. -- SECisek 21:19, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

Languages
First of all, the page says it ministers in four languages, then lists three. Secondly, http://www.archchicago.org/pdf/masses_in_other_languages.pdf is a list of all the languages the diocese conducts masses in...many more than either three or four. The four could come from the fact that they have three official websites: one in english, one in polish, one in spanish, and one for black catholics of chicago...black is unfortunately not a language. Anyway, that's a point that needs to be fixed.

Archbishop's Residence and other citations
I don't know if the section about the Archbishop's Residence is relevant, but the citation for it is given as [4] Archdiocese of Chicago (htm). Retrieved on 2006-04-29, which points to http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/03653a.htm. I could not find anything about the residence at this site. This citation is used several times in this article in other areas and I suspect that that is could be incorrect there as well. Craig.borchardt 4 November 2006 (UTC)

good example to follow
I would like to invite the editors of this page to come see Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Miami which achieved Featured Article status on Dec. 8 2007. It may help you organize this page in a way that helps it be more concise and representative of what the Archdiocese is. Good luck! NancyHeise (talk) 02:03, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

Spelling
According to http://www.catholic-hierarchy.org/diocese/dchic.html, the name of the archdiocese in Latin is Archidioecesis Chicagiensis and not Archidioecesis Chicagoensis. Which is right? 128.111.130.97 (talk) 23:56, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

Bot report : Found duplicate references !
In the last revision I edited, I found duplicate named references, i.e. references sharing the same name, but not having the same content. Please check them, as I am not able to fix them automatically :) DumZiBoT (talk) 18:11, 9 August 2008 (UTC)

link to WIlliam Aloysius O'Connor
He is among the other priests of the Chicago archdiocese who became bishops. Unless I did something stupid, his link is broken despite the presence of "William Aloysius O'Connor" page.
