Talk:Merit (Catholicism)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
How can the neutrality of this article be disputed? no one has said anything about it 68.171.249.134 06:34, 2 December 2005 (UTC)
I did not put the flags there, but I believe that if the article is recast in a neutral point of view (NPOV), then it could conceivably have its flags removed. As a theologian I would like to help rewrite and clarify it. I think that the article is worthwhile, and it would be an asset to this encyclopedia if revised. drboisclair 19:41, 2 December 2005 (UTC)
This is not neutral. As it says at the bottom, it is just downloaded from the old Catholic Encyclopedia, and is on a topic where there is disagreement between Catholic and non-Catholic views. It needs recasting. J. Franklin, 3 Jan 2006
Also merit is not just a Catholic idea. What about merit in Buddhism and Hinduism? Adam 08:18, 8 January 2006 (UTC)
The article states that its main purpose is to "vindicate" the particular point of Catholic belief under discussion here. That's not a neutral point of view, it would be better rewritten in a more dispassionate and evenhanded way, with the arguments and counterarguments confined to a separate section in the article, ratehr than interspersed throughout.

[edit] Large removal
I just nuked the huge essay that was here. I didn't see anything salvageable while going through it, but if anyone really wants to put some time into this you might want to look at the history. It's a muddle, but there might be some tidbits that could help feed a larger article. --RobthTalkCleanup? 13:03, 10 June 2006 (UTC)
