Talk:Mariavite Church

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I've marked Mariavite Bishops for merger with this one; it's listed as needing context. Since the list is already included here, it seems sensible to merge them and turn Mariavite Biskops into a redirect here. The only work involved seems to be to check that all the information from Mariavite Bishops is actually included her. Cnyborg 11:44, 18 August 2005 (UTC)

An additional difficulty with this page is the inclusion of Robert Ronald John Maria Zaborowski's assertions that he leads a signficant North American branch of this religious movement. In fact Bishop Zaborowski is simply an Episcopi vagantes (see relevant listing at Wikipedia) with no real following and therefore this part of the listing is essentially fraudulent.

Look at the German side wikipedia.de, then ask for "mariaviten"

Why would someone go to all of the trouble to revert the Polish letters with their distinctive marking (diatrical and other) back to plain Roman letters? Rlquall 18:49, 12 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] North America

This article has come a long ways but still needs lots of work IMO. Firstly, someone truly both logical and grammatical needs to integrate much of the "Relations between Catholics and Mariavites" as it is largely redundant with the history above it. Secondly, I do not buy for a second the statements about there being 300,000+ Mariavites in North America. If so, where are their chuches, schools, seminaries, etc., that a group of such size would necessarily have? This needs verified sources, not the self-serving statements of its proponents without independent review. Certainly there may well be 300,000+ North American Catholics who are sympathetic with this groups devotion to the Tridentine Mass, a less-centralized, hierarchical organization, and so on, but this is not at all the same as the group having 300,000 actual members.

Official site of the Mariavite Church says there "25,000 believers in Poland and 5,000 believers in France" [1]. And no information about believers in North America, there is even no evidence that there is "the autonomous Province in North America". I delete this information until the author would proove it.
