Can some one explain how he was a Roman Catholic and a Scientologist? To me the two philosphies seem to directly conflict.--HistoricalPisces 18:23, 3 September 2005 (UTC)

I think the deal was the he really practiced Scientology, but in public claimed to be Catholic because Scientology had a bad name back then (and still does in many quarters). This is only my own recollection, and certainly not enough basis by itself for me to change the article.--Realkyhick 07:10, 5 September 2005 (UTC)

Yeah; that's true. It has negative conotations with everyone except maybe my father.--HistoricalPisces 17:29, 5 September 2005 (UTC)

The Church claims that there is no conflict between Scientology and any other religion (a claim disputed, however, by many sources including former members.) -- Antaeus Feldspar 01:52, 15 September 2005 (UTC)

Scientology explicitly allows its followers to lie about being Scientologists, or otherwise conceal their affiliation. --144.140.53.38 01:37, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

I think untill there is some proof the Scientology part should be taken off

1 Christy Bono?
2 Gold Team Conspiracy?
3 IPA
4 Scientology discussion found in Personal Life section

[edit] Christy Bono?

Who is the mother of Christy Bono? She's Sonny Bono's daughter (see [2]) and a half-sister to Chastity Bono, but too old to be Mary Bono's daughter. Christy Bono is the owner of the Christy's and Bono's restaurants in Long Beach, California. ^Blank ^Verse 21:36, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

It took me awhile. She's the daughter of his 1st wife, Donna Rankin, who isn't even mentioned in the article! [3] ^Blank ^Verse 22:34, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Gold Team Conspiracy?

Aside from the mention here, I've found nothing else on the web relating to Bono being intentionally chased into a tree.

Yeah, I didn't have any luck, either. It sounds like the plot of a bad video game. I suggest we take it out. Any objections? Johnboy3434 07:53, 21 October 2006 (UTC)Johnboy3434

I would second that. I tried to find more information about this "Gold Team," and was unsuccessful!Johnny-Who? 23:24, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] IPA

I'm not too skilled with IPA but the pronunciation guide to his name ought to be switched to it. --Leathlaobhair 00:37, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Scientology discussion found in Personal Life section

This comment was found in the Personal Life section: "He claimed to still be a Roman Catholic because being a Scientologist doesn't mean you can't be another religion. You really need to get this correct." I don't know how true this is; if this is factually correct then this can be rectified and integrated into the article -- Greaser 08:46, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
