Talk:Roman Catholic Diocese of Scranton

message: The Archbishop of Philadelphia is not part of the church leadership. While the diocese is suffragan see of Philadelphia, the Archbishop of Philadelphia has no role to play except in the case of vacancy (like we say) and if there is an appeal in some matters of church law.
But, in the day to day management, when the good monseigneur got a new miter, the leadership of the archbishop ended. The archbishop is not pictured on the Diocese's own page (http://www.dioceseofscranton.org) with the other bishops nor is he mentioned in the directory.
If someone can show that I am incorrect, please do so. Perhaps you can show that a majority of suffragan dioceses have their metropoliton bishops as part of their leadership, please show that.
I don't even know if the former bishops should be listed as part of the church leadership. I don't even know if still is in the diocese. In addition, Timlin and Doherty both played major roles in running the diocese during the 8-month transition and during the episcipal ordination and installation of the new bishop; Martino played basically no role at all.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.112.3.204 (talk) 23:12, 10 May 2010 (UTC)

message: Why did you remove what I just posted. It was current information on what was going on in the diocese. --209.244.30.253 (talk) 16:30, 23 February 2010 (UTC)

message: Not sure why Prep is being removed from list of high schools. I know it's not operated by the diocese, but the section refers to Catholic education and Prep is a Catholic school. It's also noted as being operated independently of the diocese. Thoughts? -Tomdobb (talk) 05:38, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Many Diocese across the country have Catholic high schools that are not operated by the Diocese.  They are still listed on the Diocese wiki page.  Scranton belongs on this list. EagleFan (talk) 15:08, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Scranton Prep

message: Recent addition to this section is POV, doesn't cite sources. It discusses a highly contentious topic but fails to present both sides of the argument nor does it cite any sources for several inflammatory statements. I have removed and warned user twice before, but he or she has elected to ignore warnings and wikipedia policy regarding a neutral point of view and accurately citing sources. To avoid ongoing edit war, I've left this addition in the article and tagged it. I'd like to reach consensus on what should be done here. Tomdobb (talk) 13:18, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: A week has gone by and the user who made these additions still hasn't cited them or participated in any effort to come to a consensus, so I've removed the addition from the article. Tomdobb (talk) 19:11, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

message: The Society of St. John (SSJ) is a clerical association in the Diocese of Scranton whose local presence became controversial after allegations appeared about child abuse by some of its members. The association could maybe deserve a stub because of the previous controversy.  ADM (talk) 09:22, 15 September 2009 (UTC)

message: Word arrived today that Joseph R. Kopacz, a priest of this diocese, has been appointed bishop of Jackson, Mississippi.
So (besides needing to have those other auxiliary bishop edited in [see above], we will need a new category, because Kopacz will be a bishop elsewhere after having served in this diocese as a priest who was not a bishop.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.63.16.20 (talk) 14:45, 12 December 2013 (UTC)
