This article first says that Titus worked on the island of Crete, citing the New Testament book of Titus as a source. Then the last paragraph states that the book of Titus is about a different Titus. This seems contradictory.
"Apostle Titus". Titus appears in some traditions of the Seventy Apostles, who are not enumerated in Luke; in Wikipedia articles, the others of the Seventy or the Seventy-Two are not glamorized with the title "Apostle". The Catholic Encyclopedia has no mention of an "Apostle Titus" Not every Christian of the "apostolic Age" is an apostle. The title should be justified in the article, if justification is possible. --Wetman 08:50, 18 November 2005 (UTC)
- Nomenclature for saints in general on Wikipedia seems horribly inconsistent. For articles I've written or edited heavily I avoid titles like "Saint", "Blessed", "Apostle" and such in the article title and save it for the intro. But I also see articles on "Saint Soandso" all over the place. Is there an applicable policy or consensus about this anywhere?
- In this particular case I checked my references (a Slavonic Apostol') and Titus does not appear in the list of the Seventy as far as I can see. TCC (talk) (contribs) 09:13, 18 November 2005 (UTC)
- On the other hand, I must have missed it. This says he was among the Seventy. [1] TCC (talk) (contribs) 19:56, 18 November 2005 (UTC)
