Talk:Roman Catholic Church in England and Wales

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

You know... I'd really love to know how big is the Catholic community in England. This Subject was discussed for hours in the bar I work. We have quite of a few English people as custumers and that was disagreement when the conversation came to catholics and protestants in england. If anyone could help me with statiscs and other stuff I would be very glad. Thank you for the attention.

Perhaps this website would help [1]. Bonus bon 15:03, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] 'Roman Catholic'

If no-one objects, I will move this page to 'Catholic Church in England and Wales' instead, because the Church in Eng. and Wales never calls herself 'Roman Catholic' - c.f. official Church website - because this neglects the fact that the Eastern Catholic Apostolic Exarchate for Ukrainians exists.

As a Ukrainian Eastern Catholic, I very much agree with you :) ASN1988 15:28, 24 March 2007

[edit] Please add more info on medieval time

There is pretty much nothing at all on the time between the original missionaries and the age of Henry VIII. Surely there were some Church-related events during these times? -- 85.183.208.42 11:29, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

I've started adding some things on monasteries. Angelamaher 11:57, 29 September 2007 (UTC)


[edit] Error on the page

There is a mistake on the part concerning the Tudor Era...The article says that the reign of Mary I lasted from 1553 to 1559, but later it's written "Elizabeth I became Queen in 1558". Now I can't edit the page from this computer, but I thought I'd just let you know because I'll probaby forget because I don't have internet access from my dorm. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.23.114.250 (talk) 17:06, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Not very NPOV

I think this article might need clean-up to make it more neutral. I've made an attempt on the section dealing with the Tudors to add some sources and make the language less inflammatory. Angelamaher 11:59, 29 September 2007 (UTC)

I also think that it needs to be more neutral in the section dealing with the revolution of 1688. Given the number of anti-Catholic riots at the time, it seems implicit that the population was generally not in favour of Catholics, i.e. the 'Protestants' were in effect the vast majority of the population.

I have tried to make the bit covering the "reformation" period a little less POV - while trying VERY hard to avoid going the other way. An encyclopedia article must try to be fair and neutral - this is no place for an official church line (either way)! Soundofmusicals (talk) 03:51, 1 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] RCism in Wales

This article doesn't have much information regarding the RC Church in Wales, at least in recent times. Why was it felt necessary to have an omnibus "England and Wales" article in the first place? aliceinlampyland (talk) 17:15, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
