Category talk:Roman Catholic monks
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
What is the idea behind this category, as there are already the specific subcategories of Category:Members of Christian religious orders? --Pjacobi 16:06, 17 November 2005 (UTC)
- Well, for one, this category is more specific, as the Members of Christian relisious orders category would include Anglicans, Eastern Orthodox, Oriential Orthodox, and any other Christian groups that maintain religious orders; I think it would be important to note the denomination of someone known as a religious worker (and Category:Roman Catholics is getting rather large). Additionally, the members of religious orders cat would include monks, nuns, friars, sisters, and priests who are members of orders, each of which is a natural division. There exist already Category:Roman Catholic nuns and Category:Roman Catholic friars, and this one seems like the "next logical step". Gentgeen 18:16, 17 November 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Accuracy of category
Some of these individuals date from relatively early in the Church's history, from before the 1054 split between Rome and Constantinople. Is it really accurate to call them "Roman Catholic", when before 1054 there was only one (at least in theory) "Orthodox" and "Catholic" Church?
