Talk:Secular clergy/Archive 1

Question
If these templates, prepared by your experienced wiki-employees, are correct, then these religious people who are from laity are atheists. 128.164.157.184 (talk) 22:57, 23 December 2013 (UTC)


 * Very few people that edit on Wikipedia are wiki employees. The meaning of the word secular within the Catholic Church and other similar groups is different then the common definition of the word.  Secular priests are those priests that do not belong to a religious order.  Most diocesan priests and deacons are secular clergy.  That does not mean they are atheists.  Within the church anyone that hasn't taken solemn vows is considered secular.Marauder40 (talk) 00:33, 24 December 2013 (UTC)

Divine Office fact check
I believe that deacons are also required to recite the Divine Office daily. Will look into a fact check. 8bitW (talk) 20:09, 2 February 2016 (UTC)

Content beyond scope of article
The long paragraph in the center of the section on Catholic clergy reads like a thesis on priestly celibacy and is well beyond the scope of the article. Any accurate information should be merged with the clerical celibacy article, which itself is troubled, but still appropriate than this article. I'll leave this notice up for a few days and then make the relevant changes. 8bitW (talk) 20:14, 2 February 2016 (UTC)
 * I greatly reduced the section on celibacy and archived the original material to my sandbox to make it easier to get to. Waiting for consensus on whether the paragraph should be removed entirely. 8bitW (talk) 23:20, 2 February 2016 (UTC)

Role in Philippines Revolution
There are a couple of sections which refer to the role intra-clergy conflicts had in the Philippines Revolution. Although no sources were cited, the statements seem consistent with what is said in the articles that were linked to in Wikipedia. Are outside sources needed for these statements, or consistency with intra-Wikipedia articles enough? 8bitW (talk) 23:23, 2 February 2016 (UTC)

These sentences do NOT make sense. Please remove this horrible conglomerate of words without meaning.
See what I wrote this is dangerously wrong from someone who knows. 2601:5C0:C300:6BA0:D65:6485:88FA:8E2F (talk) 23:53, 30 June 2022 (UTC)
