Catholic Church
Hi, regarding your revision>> - what about the content? It is not correct now. I guess Wiki is a source of exact information rather than nicely written fiction literature. I hope we may reconcile both, information and the style--Quodvultdeus (talk) 16:29, 12 March 2012 (UTC)
 * I reverted you because you turned the first sentence into a fragment "The Catholic Church – world largest Christian church claiming its origins from Christ and the Twelve Apostles[1]." which has no verb, and you created a new section that somehow appeared before the table of contents. The material you added was already all present in the body of the article. I'm not sure what you claim is not correct about the article now, as every edit to this article gets scrutinized pretty heavily. eldamorie (talk) 17:00, 12 March 2012 (UTC)
 * I agree with you regarding technical things. I do not understand why the new section appeared like that. I didn't have time to work it out then. Regarding the content - to call Catholic Church: "the Roman Catholic Church" is a bit like calling all North Americans WASPs (White Anglo-Saxon Protestants). All others, like Afro Americans, are not mentioned. Are they not North Americans? "The Roman Catholic Church" is a narrower name. It is part of the Catholic Church, which includes also Eastern rite Catholic Churches, which ARE NOT "Roman Catholics", they are "Greek Catholics" etc. In the Ukraine there are several million Greek Catholics. You cannot just ignore them. Their Catholicity is expressed by acknowledging the primacy of the Pope. Roman Catholic and Greek Catholic churches accept the Pope and the teaching of faith and form together the Catholic Church. All these churches' origin goes back to Christ and the Apostles. To summarize: I think these four things are missing in the lead article: 1. wider common name for Roman and Greek Catholics, 2. primacy of Peter, 3. origin in Christ and Apostles. I think also that detailed information about the statistics and mission should go to separate section.--Quodvultdeus (talk) 22:00, 12 March 2012 (UTC)
