This article is in need of significant clean up. The formatting of titles and organization of sections needs to be cleaned up to conform with the ]]Wikipedia:Manual of Style]]. The article requires copy editing for spelling and grammar, and some text needs to be wikified. Dgf32 ( talk) 21:55, 15 March 2008 (UTC)
This advice seems rather vague. Carlos_X ( talk) 19:11, 26 November 2008 (UTC)
An editor has apparently defined the Roman Catholic Church as a "communion of 22 churches." This would definitely need a very very good reference and would be a surprise to not only the RC church article but the WikiProject Catholic folks as well. Student7 ( talk) 23:08, 31 August 2008 (UTC)
Roman_Catholic mentions that the Catholic Church is a communion of 23 Churches. Would this reference be enough?
Do the churches of the East "emphasize the disunion between the human and divine natures of Jesus?" This was known as "Nestorian" since it is a unique belief. Is there some other name for it that isn't considered pejorative? Nearly all theological beliefs that are unique have names. Student7 ( talk) 20:14, 13 March 2010 (UTC)
I have just completed the CE on this article and was struck by the fact that there are two taxonomies used: one with the natural progression of the religious developments and then a second one that is based on geographic or country affiliations. I have started the migration to a single method, but do not have sufficient knowledge of this subject to continue. Please consolidate the presentation to facilitate understanding.

Just to add to wat student7 has said. Its not just national politics of today but of centuries before. You can find Syriac Orthodox men in India as well and Indian Orthodox, just as in America there are almost all the sects. Divisions are mostly political and rarely dogmatic. - ܠܝܓܘ Liju ലിജു לג"ו ( talk) 14:08, 8 July 2010 (UTC)

Can someone disambiguate the meaning of "catholicos"? I find "universal" and "general" quite confusing. Is this an adjective "of the universe", "for the universe". "general", in the meaning "head (like in army)" or in the meaning "generic, common". If "catholicos" stands for "head", why "universal"? If "catholicos" stands for "generic, common", why head of the church would be called that? 193.32.3.83 09:43, 12 September 2007 (UTC) |

Cleemis Thottunkal section under Syro-Malankara Church - there is some very, very fragile reasoning and weasel-wording here to confer the title of Catholicos. As I understand it, the Holy See does not concede this title whatsoever to him, despite his elevation to the Cardinalate, and so I do not believe we should be using the title in an unqualified sense either. I will be examining the sources more closely, but of course, the Annuario is the gold standard and has the final say on his actual title(s). (PS): "Baselios" is an honorific title and not a personal name, so I'll be removing it where it is not permitted by the MOS. Elizium23 ( talk) 06:58, 3 July 2020 (UTC)
