[edit] Changes

I've tidied up this entry, moving all historical references into one section, all architectural comments into another, and all religious information into a third. I've escaped all special characters in the text (accented letters), corrected some typos, added a pronunciation key, removed all but two photos, deleted a historical reference that was not highly relevant to the article (details on wars), and generally cleaned up the layout of the article so that information is logically arranged.

I've reworked the text, so any copyright issues should be moot now. Agateller 08:33, 2 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Body & Blood

This is a minor note, but I feel like it needs to be made anyway. I've returned "Body and Blood" to the transubstantiation quote because the Church's Eucharistic doctrine teaches that because Christ is risen, his Body & Blood are reunited. True, when the host is consecrated, it becomes the Body of Christ, and the "wine" becomes His Blood, however, when the priest "commingles" the species (places a fragment of the host into the chalice) it is to demonstrate that Christ is Risen, and his Body & Blood are now reunited. Each host is both Body & Blood, and each sip of "wine" is likewise both Body & Blood. This is why communion under only one species ("bread" or "wine" alone) is acceptable.

[edit] angels

some details about the angles beneath the dome please just in the entrance

[edit] Construction history

The construction history of this still-controversial monument to the Catholic Right was recently blanked, with a misleading edit summary. Perhaps more detail on the publicly-expressed resistance to the Sacré-Coeur needs to be incorporated into the text. We need closer neutral and scupulous supervision here.--Wetman 16:59, 2 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Montmart[r]e?

Is Montmarte at all an appropriate or historical spelling? I noticed two occurrences: in the infobox and in one of the bibliography entries, but I haven't corrected them, in case it's actually correct. Can anyone shed some light on this? Jogloran (talk) 11:02, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

Per our Montmartre article, the spelling with the second "r" is correct.

[edit] The Bells of Sacre Coeur

This basilica has five bells; the heaviest is the largest bell in France. There should be a section describing the artifacts of these bells. --Nebula2357 (talk) 20:06, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
