[edit] Future articles for consideration

A scheme of articles which could be tied to the Catholic Church main page. Months of discussion on the Catholic Church page have gone into a plan to move as much detail off the page as possible while connecting readers to a wide variety of articles. Much of the work has been done to move excessive content off to other pages. However, there is a need to put introductory material for many articles onto the main page to give readers an idea of the scope of material available.

I applaud the current effort to evaluate where we stand in developing WP articles, and am looking forward to digging into the project myself, I am concerned though that the present plan isn't as vision oriented as I would hope. I am re-presenting in link-fashion a working list of articles that has been in discussion for several months. Some of the articles have been developed since that conversation began, many have not.

There are few topics as complex and extensive as the Catholic Church, perhaps none. What other institution could produce a 28 volume Encyclopedia about itself--twice? This list below is partial and in my view represents a rather modest horizon.

While it is great to have the 1913 Catholic Encyclopedia available online[www.newadvent.com] is has a tendency perhaps to limit our thinking by almost a century in many cases. There are many obvious articles to be developed (such as "Catholic devotions") which are the subject of hundreds--even thousands--of websites already. This is the easy work. However, there are many articles that I believe should appear here (and frankly I would love to read myself) which have not even begun to be touched and will have to be "researched" with more intensity and precision. Vatican Diplomatic Corps, for example, would be a fantastic read, could cover or at least introduce such topics as the role of the Church in the fall of the Soviet Union, the Church's influence in third world debt relief, the development of the Just War theory (in the Cold War and the War on Terror) etc. Also, it should be noted that while there are many topics the Catholic Church has in common with other Churches, such as "bishop" and "sacraments," there are perhaps many, many, many more that can be written only about the Catholic Church as it is the only institution which maintains a comprehensive body of teaching on every aspect of human endeavor.

I would hope that the articles listed below which have not yet been started, could at least begin in stub form and become part of the evaluation process. This list may stimulate your thoughts on other topics, please feel free to add topics you feel are missing.

  • Scripture (Catholic Church)
  • Pro-life movement (Catholic Church)
  • Catholic Peace and Justice Movement (Catholic Church)
  • Reformation theology and the Catholic Church
  • Catholic Church and the United Nations
  • Government of the Catholic Church (ecclesiology) (An article on general Christian ecclesiology already exits.)
  • Theology of priesthood (Catholic Church)
  • Education (Catholic Church)
  • Higher education (Catholic Church)
  • Medical profession (Catholic Church)
  • Biomedical ethics (Catholic Church)
  • Legal profession (Catholic Church)
  • Priestless Catholic parishes
  • Fine Arts (Catholic Church)
  • Catholic teaching on faith and reason
  • Catholic politicians
  • Catholicism and the sciences
  • Catholic teachings on business ethics
  • Papacy in scripture, tradition, and history
  • Medieval Church History
  • Catholicism and modern history
  • Catholic teachings on pacifism and the Just War Theory
  • Catholicism and the wars of religion
  • Historically Catholic nations
  • Marian doctrines of the Catholic Church
  • Catholicism and the Evanglical Christian movements
  • Reforms of the Second Vatican Council
  • Vatican II era in the Catholic Church (1961-1978)
  • Pope John Paul II era in the Catholic Church (1978-2005)
  • Catholicism and mystical experience
  • Catholic Liturgical Music - an historical overview
  • The Truth of the Catholic Church-(could use a better name)
  • Catholic Church and Francisco Franco or Relationship between Catholic Church and Francisco Franco - The relationship between the Spanish Catholic Church and Franco during the Spanish Civil War and his regime is notable enough and "big" enough to give a good article. I need help to put somewhere the article of Cassià Maria Just, who was one of Franco's strongest oppositors in the Church.


... and whatever else may be missing...

I am looking forward to good discussions with you all on the Talk page. Vaquero100 18:04, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

I do attend Novus Ordo Mass and Divine Liturgy at the Maronite Church. I consider myself pretty well read on the subjects of the 21 Ecumenical councils, and the Early Church Fathers, so let me know where I can be of assistance.
