 * Delete. Definitely violates WP:OR, and the title alone screams implies POV. Arkyan 16:17, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. A shotgun blast of an article that asserts opinionated positions on a wide variety of loosely related subjects, all of which are better covered elsewhere. - Smerdis of Tlön 17:33, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. L  uis  1972   (Talk  •  My Contribs)  17:38, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete I essentially agree with the substance of everything said above, but not the tone. The contributor(s) to that article just have to contribute in the right way, and they're less likely to stick around when comments verge on insulting them. You can uphold standards without throttling people. Noroton 18:06, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
 * You have a good point. I guess I did come across a little harsh there, thanks for the subtle admonishing! Arkyan 21:00, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete although the topic is encyclopedic and could arguably be treated under Authority of the Catholic Church. Problem is that the current article is badly organized and poorly written so a rewrite is better than a "Keep". --Richard 08:01, 3 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. A polemic, not an encyclopedia article. TCC (talk) (contribs) 09:01, 3 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. unreferenced POV rant, not an article. Gentgeen 09:24, 3 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. If any parts of it are worth keeping, they should be put in the articles that deal with the disparate matters attacked. I see too that it contains that favourite vague yet authority-claiming phrase of POV-pushers: "Some scholars say ..."  Lima 09:50, 3 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. Clear violation of WP:OR.  Agree with above, that this is basically a POV rant, not an article appropriate for Wikipedia (or any reputable encyclopedia).  --Anietor 15:47, 3 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete and redirect to Sacred Tradition. There may be some salvagable material in the current article ... if so, it should be merged into the Sacred Tradition article (or maybe Christian traditions).  -- Pastordavid 09:03, 4 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete As described, OR violations. - Denny 18:13, 4 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete completely unrefed OR NBeale 16:18, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
