Talk:Anthony de Mello (Jesuit priest)

message: It seems like it would be nice to have more of his teachings listed here. I will hopefully contribute to this article in the future.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Flemingrjf (talk • contribs) 15:43, 4 February 2013 (UTC)
thread_title: Teachings

message: There is a factual error in the item about deMello.  The "Notification" by the Vatican occurred in 1998 NOT 1988.
:You are right.  I have fixed it.  Feel free to change things yourself in future. --Peacenik 14:00, 7 May 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  Error in story 

message: I do not agree that this recent change to insert the entire vatican notification is appropriate.  I think it would be more appropriate to provide a link to the notification on the VAtican website.
If there is no discussion within one week, I will revert to the previous version.

replies: text: As mentioned above, I have removed the detail regarding the Vatican Notification.  There is a link in the external links.--Peacenik 02:58, 5 October 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: Vatican Notification

message: Why did someone remove the link to the biography by Tony de Mello's brother?  It seems very relevant.  I will add it back unless someone has a good reason not to.

thread_title: Link to Tony's brother's biography

message: So, is he excommunicated or not?  He is listed on the List of people excommunicated by the Roman Catholic Church.  Seems like that would be a pertinent fact to add to his article if true... --PaddyM 19:30, 6 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: He shouldn't be as his writings were condemned posthumously. You cannot be excommunicated posthumously. Str1977 (smile back) 09:20, 20 September 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  excommunicated? 

message: This article states that the de Mello's writings were "banned" but the Catholic Church hasn't banned writings in many years.
Unless folks object I plan to revise this article.Samuel J. Howard 09:34, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Current Version

message: The quotation says, in part, "above-mentioned positions are incompatible with the Catholic faith" but does not mention what those positions might be. I think the quotation as it stands is virtually useless and my inclination is to remove everything after "published after his death" to the Bibliography. It isn't sourced and, as others have noted, there's a strong whiff of bias here. PatriciaT (talk) 22:21, 12 August 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: Really? The subject of this article has 13 ISBNs—professionally distributed book titles, in case you are unaware. His publishers include Doubleday and Loyola University Press. If this doesn't constitute notability what does? Why is it I never see this kind of harassment on non-spiritual pages? I understand questions on reliable authority and support them, but a threat to delete the author's work because the subject might not be notable is ludicrous. Give your head a shake. This should be removed asap. 
Further, I do not know either the subject or author of this article personally, but I am reading about the subject's work in another book and wanted to know more. To have such a warning emblazoned across the top of this article is a disservice to readers and Wikipedia itself.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.79.54.159 (talk) 16:30, 17 August 2019 (UTC)
thread_title:  The topic of this article may not meet Wikipedia's general notability guideline? 

message: Recent edits by user "Demellocenterwiki" are clearly a conflict of interest on their face.  Other than a single (broken) link in External links, there is no reference to the fact that the Catholic Church has denounced the "teachings" of this (former) Jesuit priest.  De Mello's philosophy is fundamentally in conflict with Christian teaching. 2001:558:6017:189:4857:3BE0:CCA0:87E4 (talk) 04:09, 26 August 2019 (UTC)
