Talk:Roman Catholic Suburbicarian Diocese of Frascati

Diocese of Choice
The article states, "Like other dioceses close to Rome, Frascati became a bishopric of choice for Cardinals of powerful papal families during the 17th century; a period known for its unabashed nepotism." This is incorrect. Promotion to the cardinal bishoprics from Cardinal-priest was by seniority; when a vacancy occurred in a bishopric, the Cardinal priests were asked in order of seniority whether they wanted the promotion (Many did, some did not). In moving up among the suburbicarian bishoprics, it was strictly a matter of seniority (though, again, one could refuse promotion). The small number of examples, cherry picked from several papal families, and including a couple of hangers-on, is put forth in the article without argumentation to demonstrate the assertion. The entire section is unreferenced. It is ripe for deletion. --Vicedomino (talk) 04:19, 21 October 2016 (UTC)

These rules were made clear by Pope Paul IV in his Bull Cum venerabiles, 22 August 1555. --Vicedomino (talk) 18:35, 21 October 2016 (UTC)

Classification
An article about the diocese which contains no history at all of the diocese is not much of an article. A list of bishops, however complete, is no substitute for a history of the diocese. Did the bishop have a palace? Did he have a high income, or was he scraping by? Was he resident, or did he spend all his time at the Papal Court? Did the Cathedral have a clerical staff? Did the diocese have a seminary, an orphanage, a college, a poor house? Did the Bishop run the territory of Frascati, or was there a governor? Was there a territorial nobility who helped/hindered the bishop's work? Sorry, but the present article is no "C". It's barely a "Start". --Vicedomino (talk) 04:58, 21 October 2016 (UTC)

Orphaned references in Roman Catholic Suburbicarian Diocese of Frascati
I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Roman Catholic Suburbicarian Diocese of Frascati's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "fiu.edu": From Suburbicarian Diocese of Velletri-Segni: The Cardinals of the Holy Roman Church - Papal elections and conclaves by century From Roman Catholic Suburbicarian Diocese of Palestrina: The Cardinals of the Holy Roman Church - Creations of Cardinals of the XI Century From Suburbicarian Diocese of Porto e Santa Rufina: The Cardinals of the Holy Roman Church - Creations of Cardinals of the 9th Century 

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 12:39, 4 October 2017 (UTC)
