Progressive rationalism article
As you probably know, "progressivism" and "rationalism" mean different things to different people in different periods. Without citations to reliable sources, it's not obvious where the phrase "progressive rationalism" comes from or how it's used. So, if you have sources, please add them! I also encourage you to discuss the matter at Talk:Progressive rationalism. Cheers, Melchoir (talk) 03:01, 10 April 2011 (UTC)

Catholic sex abuse cases
Hello, I'm wondering why you removed (in this edit to Catholic sex abuse cases) the word "allegations" from the sentence, "The Catholic sex abuse cases are a series of ongoing investigations into allegations sex crimes committed by Catholic priests and members ofreligious orders as well as unajudicated allegations"? You did not provide a reason for removal in your edit summary, which is generally not a good idea to do for potentially controversial changes.

The word "allegations" is used because, while many of the cases have been proven, there are still several under investigation that have yet to be proven. Also, all of the cases began as allegations, so all of the investigations, past and present, are or were investigations into allegations, not proven cases (after all, if they had been proven before the case, why investigate?).

I'm going to re-insert the word "allegations" into the article. If you still object, feel free to revert my edit. If you do, however, please start a discussion on Talk:Catholic sex abuse cases and also leave a message on User talk:Cymru.lass (my talkpage) saying you have. Thank you for reading all of this, and happy editing! — Preceding signed comment added by Cymru.lass (talk • contribs) 17:17, 23 April 2011 (UTC)
