Talk:Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Lisbon

Move?
Why was this moved? Is it not a patriarchate? Adam Bishop (talk) 06:30, 30 April 2008 (UTC)


 * First, it is the title of the officeholder, so it would need to be changed to Patriarchate of Lisboa. Second, Patriarchate is a honorary title. It is the Archdiocese of Lisboa according to the structure of the Catholic church. They both should be listed, but I think Patriarchate of Lisboa should be a disambig that redirects to the Archdiocese of Lisboa. Benkenobi18 (talk) 19:09, 30 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Alright, then why "Lisboa" when the name of the city in English is "Lisbon"? Adam Bishop (talk) 00:58, 1 May 2008 (UTC)


 * And why "Roman Catholic"? What else would it be? Is that just for consistency with all RC diocese articles? Adam Bishop (talk) 01:07, 1 May 2008 (UTC)


 * Names of dioceses comply with how the diocese itself is called by the Catholic church (which has no preference for English). In this case, Catholic Heirarchy lists this archdiocese as the archdiocese of Lisboa. I don't really care, whether it's Lisbon or Lisboa, either are perfectly acceptable. Yes, it's the Roman Catholic diocese to make it consistant with all the others. If you feel that Lisbon is more accurate given that this is english wikipedia, go right ahead and change it from Lisboa to Lisbon.

 * I'm splitting the office from the office holder. It has to be either Patriarchate or Archdiocese, it cannot be Archbishop or Patriarch.

Patriarchatus, not Archidioecesis
So who exactly calls this particular church an archdiocese? It is a patriarchate. Can you provide a reference? Rwflammang (talk) 01:32, 25 July 2012 (UTC)
