[edit] Merge

I have merged the article "Bishop of London (Catholic)" into this one. aliceinlampyland 21:52, 2 March 2006 (UTC).

[edit] Balance

This article seems to lack neutral point of view and, in particular, it repeatedly emphasises the split between Anglicanism and Roman Catholicism which is, in parts, anachronistic and, pretty much everywhere, irrelevant, in that it is not a feature of this see any more than of any historic English see.

Have tried to fix this now. Chelseaboy 16:51, 9 July 2006 (UTC)

All the pre-Reformation English bishoprics were modified by someone a few months back to split them into Catholic and Anglican articles; some echoes of this are probably still kicking around. Here's the pre-move version, if it helps. Shimgray | talk | 16:54, 9 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Hierarchy of Bishops

I had always thought the Bishop of Durham was the senior bishop after the two archbishops, given that the role of Prince Bishop is viewed as a higher status, whereas this article seems to state it is the Bishop of London. Can someone clarify please? user:lawsonrob

I thought that too, but it seems the correct order of precedence is the Bishops of London, Durham and Winchester, followed by Diocesan Bishops (in order of seniority), and then Suffragan Bishops. See [1] – Agendum 23:46, 18 October 2006 (UTC)
