Orientation

How are you determining what to place in the "orientation" field for these churches? I had to look up "synergism" (didn't know it was opposed to monergism) and I don't understand how that or amillennianism are central defining theologies of their respective churches. They seem to be merely ancillary features of their theological thought. Elizium23 (talk) 21:04, 19 January 2020 (UTC)

i agree with you, i also agree that it is just ancillary features of the theological thought of those churches, i put amillennialism based on the article Jehovah's Witnesses, (that uses Premillennialist in the orientation field) if you have an idea of what to put in the "orientation" field tell me. maybe Western Christianity for the Catholic Church?.(The Sr Guy (talk) 21:24, 19 January 2020 (UTC)).

It seems this is a duplicate parameter identical to "theology". I would say for the Catholic Church to put "Catholicity" or perhaps, as you suggest, Western Christianity. For the Eastern Orthodox, the Byzantine Rite is actually the raison d'etre for their theology in addition to their liturgy, just like Byzantine Catholics. Because the rite encompasses theological thought and patrimony just as much. However, using "Byzantine Rite" in EO-related articles has been problematic in the past. As "theology" is already filled in for these churches, I would be inclined to delete "orientation" altogether and not try to be completist about filling in every existing field. I don't know the origin of the fields or why there are two now, but it may have been some compatibility or compromise issue in the past. Elizium23 (talk) 21:29, 19 January 2020 (UTC)

What you are proposing is a very simple solution, and i agree, let's announce this on the talk page of these article.(The Sr Guy (talk) 00:03, 20 January 2020 (UTC))

The Catholic Church is False

The Catholic Church was not ordained by Jesus Christ, nor by his apostles. On the contrary, they regarded each other as heretics.

Sir, what does this website about gnosticism have to do with Roman Catholicism?

"North–South Schism" listed at Redirects for discussion

An editor has asked for a discussion to address the redirect North–South Schism. Since you had some involvement with the North–South Schism redirect, you might want to participate in the redirect discussion if you wish to do so. _signed, Rosguill ^talk 21:12, 7 February 2020 (UTC)

Christianity in India

I am confused by this edit. Who are you quoting? Who are you responding to? What in the article are you challenging? And last, but not least, why did you remove items from the language parameter when your edit involves religion? Sundayclose (talk) 01:03, 19 February 2020 (UTC)

I was responding to User:Chintu89, who remove my edits(The Sr Guy (talk) 01:34, 19 February 2020 (UTC))

Would you mind providing a diff where Chintu89 removed your edits? I can't find it. And again, why did you remove items from the language parameter when your edit involves religion? Sundayclose (talk) 01:58, 19 February 2020 (UTC)

here its: Chintu89 and My, about the language parameter, I didn't notice that I had removed, sorry.(The Sr Guy (talk) 16:12, 19 February 2020 (UTC))

Why did you remove this from the language parameter in the infobox: "Gujarati, Tamil, Konkani, Kannada, Telugu and various Indian languages"? Sundayclose (talk) 16:56, 19 February 2020 (UTC)

I didn't notice that I removed.(The Sr Guy (talk) 17:00, 19 February 2020 (UTC))

Your disruptive edits in Hungary and Hungarian Greek Catholic Church

Hello. This is a message to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions did not appear constructive and has been reverted. Please take some time to familiarise yourself with our policies and guidelines. You can find information about these at our welcome page which also provides further information about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. If you only meant to make test edits, please use the sandbox for that. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you may leave a message on my talk page. Thank you.

You have been reverted once already for your unconstructive edits in Hungary and Hungarian Greek Catholic Church. You made the exact same edit again after being reverted. This violates WP:BRD. Discuss on the Talk page of either of the aforementioned articles. Your other edits on these two pages have also been unconstructive. Your edits are factually inaccurate and contain biased text indicating violations of WP:BIAS and WP:NPOV. Your edits have also been problematic in style violating WP:MOS. You have a history of doing these kinds of unconstructive edits, and are now repeating the same destructive edits, indicating WP:BATTLEGROUND behavior.

Please stop editing these two pages. If you have what you believe is a valid change, propose it on the talk page instead. Keep in mind that these talk pages have shown massive battleground behavior before, and much has already been discussed. Bias and Npov are common there. Please try to keep your suggestions within the guidelines and keep it WP:CIVIL. We would all appreciate it, so we can work toward making this article better.
