Talk:Black Pope (disambiguation)

message: Merge:  This debate has apparently gone by the wayside for many months now.  I reopen the debate on this topic by casting my official vote in favor of merging the article.  This nickname for the Superior General is not only obscure, it is also quite minor.  While some may argue that it is somehow clever, it does not deserve its own article.  All those opposed or in favor of this proposal should cast an official vote as well.  --TheTriumvir 17:58, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Debate:  Merge [[Black Pope]] into [[Superior General of the Society of Jesus]] 

message: It is important for the standard browser of the encyclopedia to know of this relation immediatly. Otherwise crackpots would be concuting conspiracy theories when they come accross the term "Black Pope" because it does seem to have a dark and diabolical connotation.
::Since the term is just a nickname for the Superior General, this page is superfluous.  A redirect to that page and longer explaination of the term would be useful. --Miked84 02:00, 14 February 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Of course it should be merged. It's just their nickname. This page will either be a permanent stub or repeticious with the content there. Merge it. savidan(talk) (e@) 15:49, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

message: I came across the term in The Times on the near-simutaneous deaths of Benedict XIV and the head of the Jesuits in August 1914.

replies: text: It may have other conotations associated with it, but it seems reasonable.  The Jesuits were the first order to adopt secular clerical dress.  --Miked84 03:07, 14 February 2006 (UTC)

text: I support a merger as well. —Lowellian (reply) 14:57, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

Not counting statements by user accounts that seem to have been created primarily to oppose the merger, there is a clear consensus (5-1) for merger with Superior General of the Society of Jesus, and I have implemented the merge. —Lowellian (reply) 15:07, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
