Amoris Laetitia
The wikipedia article on Amoris Laetitia (https://en.wikipedia.org/Amoris_laetitia) is highly biased in favor of critics of the document. Criticisms of the document are given a prominent place and in fact take up more of the article than the actual content of Amoris Laetitia. Most of the links are to publications that are critical of AL (NCRegister, EWTN's "World Over").
I think this should be a high priority for WikiProject Catholicism because it strikes at the very unity of our Church. I recommend WikiProject Catholicism take control of the article on Amoris Laetitia, rewrite it to focus on the actual content of the document, and leave the controversy for another article.
Happy to discuss.

Update: I have made a substantial rewrite of the article on Amoris laetitia. I would appreciate this community's feedback. PluniaZ (talk) 05:52, 30 November 2017 (UTC)

Disambiguation links on pages tagged by this wikiproject
Misplaced Pages has many thousands of wikilinks which point to disambiguation pages. It would be useful to readers if these links directed them to the specific pages of interest, rather than making them search through a list. Members of WikiProject Disambiguation have been working on this and the total number is now below 20,000 for the first time. Some of these links require specialist knowledge of the topics concerned and therefore it would be great if you could help in your area of expertise.
A list of the relevant links on pages which fall within the remit of this wikiproject can be found at http://69.142.160.183/~dispenser/cgi-bin/topic_points.py?banner=WikiProject_Catholicism
Please take a few minutes to help make these more useful to our readers.— Rod 14:02, 3 December 2017 (UTC)
- Many of these are easily modified, but some need someone with a geographical bent. See Dvorce. Bmclaughlin9 (talk) 18:21, 3 December 2017 (UTC)
- Thanks for looking at them. This sort of example is why we need specialists to help with the process.— Rod 08:19, 4 December 2017 (UTC)
Proposal to add some religious events to ITNR
There is currently a proposal to add some religious events at WP:ITNR. If adopted some or all of the listed events could be added to ITNR and be automatically posted to the main page conditional on the overall quality of the relevant articles. Interested editors are encouraged to join the discussion here. -Ad Orientem (talk) 21:13, 19 January 2018 (UTC)
Sisters article needed?
I propose to create a Misplaced Pages page "Sister (religious)" in respect for the large number of sisters who do not consider their vocation as monastic, as implied by the title "nun", at least in the United States. Separation of the Sister article from the Nun article will take considerable effort and care, and I don't want to begin it unless I have widespread support from Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Catholicism. The Sister article may be brief and direct readers to the article Catholic sisters and nuns in the United States, but it would show respect for the important distinction between nuns and sisters in the United States today. What think you? Jzsj (talk) 15:44, 31 January 2018 (UTC)
- Do you have the sources as per WP:NOTABILITY for such an article? If yes, I can't necessarily see any objection, although I assume that the phenomenon might not be limited to Catholicism. John Carter (talk) 18:55, 31 January 2018 (UTC)
- Neither "nun" nor "sister" are strictly technical terms (http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/11164a.htm), so creating an article discussing one but not the other may be an artificial distinction. The distinction in degree of religious observation is a ancientand a worldwide phenomenon (not just the United States - the Sisters of Charity in Calcutta, for example), so a global article for "Catholic women religious" or "Catholic sisters and nuns", breaking out some of the more of the technical content from the "Nun" article, may be appropriate. –Zfish118 11:44, 7 February 2018 (UTC)
- Would there be any support for changing the name of the "nun" page to "Sisters and nuns" and explaining in the introductory section the distinction and usage, and where to find the specifically sister section below? Alternately, would the notability you mention not come from simply the widespread references to "sisters" (for religious sisters) in the 20th century? Also, could you tell me how someone made Religious sister redirect to Nun#Distinction between a nun and a religious sister; as with most guideline pages I find this one overwhelming, and would appreciate simply a reference to some examples!

WikiProject Marist Brothers: Child Abuse issues
Hello, peace be with you all.
If you check this part of the Marist Brothers' article, you'll see news about the child abuse cases in Australia. Do you guys think it should be moved to a new section? If yes, I need help in naming this new section. If no, should we remove it or just put it where it is currently? Thanks in advanced.--Allenjambalaya (talk) 05:29, 6 February 2018 (UTC)
- The content should remain, and research ideally should be done to see if the allegations are limited to Australia, or were made in other parts of the world as well. Worldwide accusations would be the most pressing reason to create a new section, which could simply follow the Catholic Church article and be titled to the effect of "Sexual abuse cases". –Zfish118 11:51, 7 February 2018 (UTC)
Notre Dame Cristo Rey High School
There's been a long discussion, mainly with those attached to the Schools Project, about what additions to this article would be appropriate, like the historical background bit currently under discussion at Talk:Notre Dame Cristo Rey High School#History. I believe there's a need to hear from more voices, of any persuasion. Jzsj (talk) 15:30, 16 February 2018 (UTC)
Removing Sr., Fr., Br., OP, OSB, SJ, SNDN, etc., from names in infoboxes
A discussion is taking place about whether pre-nominals like Sr., Fr., Bro. and post-nominals like OP, OSB, SJ, SNDN should be treated as honorifics and removed from infoboxes. The "etc." (CEO, Dr, BA, BSc, MA, PhD, etc.) in the school projects guideline has allowed editors to remove these religious titles from names in all infoboxes. Are they correct in identifying these religious titles with the honorifics discussed at Template:Infobox person#Parameters? You can contribute to the discussion at Misplaced Pages talk:WikiProject Schools/Article guidelines#Pre-nominals and post-nominals. Jzsj (talk) 17:51, 16 February 2018 (UTC)
