I finished today the Template: History of the Catholic Church. Friend Carlaude attempted to rename to Roman Catholic, and then redirected the new template to his Template:Christian History

• 15:27, 10 July 2008 (hist) (diff) Template:History of the Catholic Church‎ (Template:Christian History)

No need to comment on this. The history of the Catholic Church is of course much more than the history of Roman Church. We will deal with that later. I would be interested in your comments and improvments on the two hour old template.

The title should match that of the main article. As long as the article is officially titled Roman Catholic Church, then the template should be called Template:History of the Roman Catholic Church. On a quick glance, I noticed that some of the titles don't match the articles and use a form that may not be obvious to nonCatholics. For example, why is Second Vatican Council called Second Ecumenical Council of the Vatican?

The longer names are the "offical" names and also serve to confuse-- as you point out. The only reason seems to be a need to push an RC POV.

I took a quick look, and these are my first impressions. I suspect we will need to discuss each set of links separately, either here or on the template talk page. Under General, I'd add Role of the Roman Catholic Church in civilization.

I think there is too much information in much of the rest of it. It seems unnecessary, to me, to include pieces of the Church just because they were founded in that period (such as Swiss Guards). In my opinion, this should be restricted to events or people that had a significant impact on the church at the time.

Among the links I think are most likely to warrant being left off are Battle of Milvian Bridge, Cluny, Cîteaux Abbey, Avignon (why not Avignon Papacy?), Fall of Constantinople, Swiss Guards, Raphael, Michaelangelo, Thomas More, Our Lady of Guadalupe, Battle of Lepanto, Oratory of Saint Philip Neri, Edith Stein, Maximilian Kolbe, Our Lady of Fatima. Where should the discussion take place? Would it be all right with everyone to put up one time period of links at a time to discuss?

Obviously, a 2000 year history leaves room for judgement. Official titles are the norm here, but if shorter ones do exist such as Vatican II, much better. Yes, some entries should be deleted or replace, while others are still missing, such as Thomas Aquinas.--Ambrosius007 (talk) 07:23, 11 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2008-07-11T07:23:00.000Z","author":"Ambrosius007","type":"comment","level":3,"id":"c-Ambrosius007-2008-07-11T07:23:00.000Z-Karanacs-2008-07-10T18:05:00.000Z","replies":["c-Johnbod-2008-07-11T13:28:00.000Z-Ambrosius007-2008-07-11T07:23:00.000Z"]}}-->

Generally, I agree with Karen; things that were important for the Church, like the Fall of Constantinople, but where the article hardly mentions the RCC, should not be there. Second Ecumenical Council of the Vatican is somewhat POV anyway, as it was only "Catholic eucumenical". Art in Roman Catholicism should be there, and more general historical articles - Hiberno-Scottish mission - and fewer biographies.

However, this template shouldn't really be focusing on "where would Christianity be without" X, but more on things that specifically impact the Roman Catholic Church.

This bit is a mess. Byzantine Iconoclasm would be the article, but really the Western attitude made very little difference, not did Iconoclasm affect the Western Church much. Hiberno-Scottish mission and Celtic Christianity should be there too, plus perhaps similar "Christianisation" articles. Benedict, or, maybe better Rule of St Benedict?

• I would remove the following links: Our Lady of Guadalupe, Battle of Lepanto, Oratory of Saint Philip Neri, Thomas More, Robert Bellarmine, Teresa of Avila
• Perhaps remove Saint Ignatius of Loyola and replace it with Jesuits
• Perhaps remove Martin Luther
• I would add Gregorian calendar -- huge impact on the western world

Agree including the calendar. Lepanto? There seems to be a consesus here to leave teporal battles out, then of course Lepanto should go as well.

I would agree with four removals including Clement VIII. Benedict XIV was very important, and Pope Pius VIreigned for 25 very tumultuous years.

Lourdes and Fatima (20th century) are not important by themselves but for initiating significant religious fervour, millions of pilgrimages, literature, organizations, not to mention papal teachings and visits. You may call it a social movement from bottom up, where none existed before. Therefore they are relevant. Baltimore and Westminster are important in the local context only. Pius VII and Leo XIII together with Pius IX together largely determined the papacy in the 19th century (for about 75 years)--Ambrosius007 (talk) 17:20, 11 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2008-07-11T17:20:00.000Z","author":"Ambrosius007","type":"comment","level":4,"id":"c-Ambrosius007-2008-07-11T17:20:00.000Z-Karanacs-2008-07-11T14:56:00.000Z","replies":[]}}-->

The sex abuse case is largely a local issue, which did not affect the Catholic Church in most parts of the world, it is still ongoing in the courts, definitely not histoy at this point. Regarding the removal of the mentioned categories, I do not fully see the rationale. For example, the pontificate of Paul VI was by far the most far reaching in the 20th century, as far as reforms go (his implementation of Vatican II). To leave out the important pontificate Pius XII, could be interpreted as hiding various views on the Church during WWII. I agree with the renaming and with the addition Lateran treaty.

• Germanic Christianity - christianisation really. A bit short.
• Christianity in Gaul - long but much of it CE 1913
• Papal States - probably better than Donation of Pepin
• Devotio Moderna maybe
• Jansenism - good long article
• Dechristianisation of France during the French Revolution also short, but more to the point than the main article.

There is a basic point here, as to include important local events in Germany, France etc. I did originally include US events, but this was not agreeable. Lots of opportunities!

Done some of these. I removed Mysticism as completely inappropriate; Christian mysticism has little on the Counter-ref period - we have more on medieval mysticism. Raphael Rooms and Sistine Chapel Ceiling would be better than the biographies, but I think just having the general art article is best.

I agree that it would be better to leave out most of the biographies. For people unfamiliar with the RCC, the name of a person is not likely to mean much. Far better to link to articles that describe what was important about that person's actions, if those articles exist.

"Germanic Christianity", is that really a proper wording? Wouldn't it be more suitable to have something like "Christianization" and then the referred region or people(s)?
