Talk:Catholic Encyclopedia

message: I'm not an expert on intellectual property law but I think that this sentence is not accurate
"Due to its public domain status, content from the 1913 edition can be incorporated into any work, as long as an individual does not try to pass off articles or information from the encyclopedia as his or her own."
I'm not sure if the above sentence is accurate because it merges legality (copyright violation), acceptable practice for an author (what a publishing house will accept) and ethical behavior.
I do not believe there is anything that legally proscribes me from using "articles or information from the encyclopedia" as my own.  If I take an article from the Catholic Encyclopedia and put it into a self-published tract or on my personal website, there is no one with legal standing to sue me for doing so.
Now, I'm not saying this would conform with Wikipedia policy.  After all, if I DID try to pass it off as my own work, then it would be considered Original Research and unacceptable for that reason.
I'm going to remove the "as long as..." bit.

"...In particular, it predates the Second Vatican Council, which introduced significant changes in Catholic practice. We do the Devil's work, not God's. All through History we have murdered innocent people. In order for you to understand, you have to research the past. The Roman Catholic Chuch is against God not For God.

thread_title:  Text Corrupted? 

message: I deleted the following text: "On issues that divide Catholicism from other Churches and Protestant ecclesial communities, the text consistently presents matters from the Catholic point of view."
This is redundant because the article says just few lines above "The encyclopedia was designed to serve the Roman Catholic Church, excluding information which has no relation to the Church and explaining matters from the point of view of the official Catholic doctrine".

replies: text: I mean, yeah. I can't really find any admissions of wrongdoing for anything, even obvious stuff like whipping up a mob against Hypatia, or the virulent antisemitism of Pfefferkorn. It's a blatantly propagandistic work.71.222.231.75 (talk) 22:38, 17 April 2020 (UTC)

message: Paragraph on removal of Catholic Encyclopedia from libraries in some random city is unneccesary. I'm removing it. 
Well, I would, but obviously another anonymous random citizen of the United States feels that their opinion is greater than mine, just because they signed up to Wikipedia. I'm sure all their formal training and experience as a professional encyclopedia editor gives them the right.....Wikipedia you've done it again! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.186.186.128 (talk) 15:58, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
