message: I believe this article to be biased. Are there articles on cultural Lutherans or Baptists? Not trying to seem extreme but this is mildly anti-Catholic.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.11.145.85 (talk) 03:56, 31 July 2009 (UTC)

message: The article says "Cultural Catholic" is synonymous with Cafeteria Catholic. Should we merge/move this into Cafeteria Catholic? And redirect Cultural Catholic to Cafeteria Catholic? Lionelt (talk) 01:31, 26 June 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Merge/Move 

message: One possible cause for the cultural Catholic phenomenon is that in terms of ecclesiology, the Church is often defined in alternative ways : the Church as a people and the Church as a sacramental institution. When these two ideas of the Church begin to contrast, it is usually then that the cultural Christian phenomenon begins to emerge. See for instance the article people of God which describes the Church as people, and contrast it to the encyclical Ecclesia de Eucharistia which is more centered on the sacramental definition. Another way to explain this is that most Irish people are Catholic, but not all Irish Catholics are Catholic in the sense that the Roman Catholic magisterium and episcopal hierarchy interprets the self-understanding of the Church. In this sense, it is possible to be much more Irish, Italian or Spanish than Catholic, while maintaining a dual or multiple cultural identity that is often in conflict.

message: I moved this page to Cafeteria Catholicism because I could not find a single reference to Cultural Catholic outside a website that is named "Cultural Catholic," but has nothing to do with what was being claimed in the article.  Also, the old text was WP:OR and the few references were found to be nonexistent.Malke2010 15:21, 4 June 2010 (UTC)

message: Currently, we have an "early" use in print from 1986. If Google Books is correct in identifying this source, that's a full fifteen years earlier. --Nat Gertler (talk) 22:04, 30 November 2016 (UTC)

replies: text: I thought it was pretty clear "a little of this and none of that" like at a buffet or a cafeteria, pick and choose which Catholics aren't supposed to do. I'd heard the term "á-la-carte Catholic" before but Cafeteria Catholic was new to me. -- 109.79.166.32 (talk) 15:38, 10 February 2019 (UTC)

message: You have moved this page without any discussion, and refactored the opening so it's discussing "dissenting Catholic" -- a term which appears in neither of the sources being used to support that sentence. Significant portions of the article are specifically about discussion of the term "cafeteria Catholic". During discussion of "dissenting catholic", there was not consensus even that this was the right page for it to redirect to. This is not an uncontroversial move. Please undo your move, and seek consensus before restoring it. -- Nat Gertler (talk) 18:48, 23 September 2023 (UTC)
