Talk:List of Catholic dioceses in the United States

message: Just want to say that I'm very proud of the map I made for this page.  It took me all day, and led my roommate to think that I'm completely insane, but there it is, and it's very pretty. john k 04:51, 13 Mar 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Your roommate may or may not be wrong <g>, but it is a very nice map. - Nunh-huh 04:53, 13 Mar 2005 (UTC)

text: Insane would be a map of Anglican dioceses of the United States in an animated gif that shows them morphing into the Roman Catholic dioceses. Or an animated gif showing the growth and spread of Catholicism from 1776 to 2005. You still haven't crossed the line!- Nunh-huh 05:06, 13 Mar 2005 (UTC)

message: I oppose merging this article with the theoretically worldwide list of dioceses. That article is not nearly so well put together as this one. There perhaps should be more national lists, and then the world list can list the national list articles. Argyriou 00:32, 6 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm working on the national lists. All of North America has been done. Here is my plan. 
1. master list of worldwide list of dioceses. 
2. 6 continental lists: North America, South America, Africa, Europe, Asia, and Australia/Oceanea. North America is done.
3. National lists. All the ones in North America are done, with Bolivia, Brazil and Argentina also done.

thread_title: Merge?

message: This article is very well put together and the map is first-rate. 
The diocese of Gallup is described as comprising portions of New Mexico and Arizona and being the only multi-state diocese in the U.S. Isn't the Wilmington diocese a multi-state one, as well? I understand it comprises the state of Delaware and some counties of the state of Maryland. - 200.104.58.205 22:16, 31 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: There are several other multi-state dioceses in the US. I believe all of the Eastern eparchies are multi-state. The text as of this time stamp is correct, saying that it is only one of a few dioceses that are multi-state. TMLutas 03:49, 20 October 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Multi-state dioceses

message: The term Mother Church usually refers to the first church in a particular area, whereas Head Church refers to the cathedral (as in the  German Domkirche or 'head church').  Thus the Archbasilica of Our Most Holy Saviour in Rome (also called St. John Lateran) is the "Mother & Head of all the churches in Rome and the world" since it was the first church (Constantine donated his palace) and is the cathedral of Rome.  The Loreto Mission in Baja California is likewise stylized the "Mother & Head of All Churches in the Californias"  since it is the first church and the cathedral for Lower (Baja) California.  In Philadelphia our mother church is Old St. Joseph's and it is refered to as such.  Our head church is the Cathedral Basilica of SS. Peter & Paul.   I have fixed this on the page.

thread_title: Mother v. Head Church

message: There are 9 eparchies that are not Roman on this list. They are sister Churches within Catholicism. When listing bishops, the equivalent list is the list of Catholic bishops. Is there any reason not to move this list to "List of Catholic dioceses of the United States"? TMLutas 03:40, 20 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: There is no reason not to move this list to "List of Catholic dioceses of the United States" so I did.--Antiedman (talk) 16:23, 14 June 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Catholic v Roman Catholic

message: It is now going  to move this page to the title List of the Catholic dioceses of the United States since this page contains information on all catholic dioceses of the united states.--Antiedman (talk) 06:02, 14 June 2009 (UTC)

message: The List of the Catholic cathedrals of the United States contains a great deal of overlap with this article.  I propose merging the pages. Goldnpuppy (talk) 02:37, 17 March 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: Oppose  Both the diocesan list and the cathedral list are part of a series of lists of these two topics in their respective country. Note the category at the bottom: "Lists of Roman Catholic dioceses by country."  There are 123 such lists.  (It should be noted that the United States is unique in that it has so many dioceses from the Latin/Roman Church and eparchies from the East.  That is why the US title does not have "Roman" in it.)  The cathedrals should be removed from this list, and to be honest they never should have been added in the first place.  At least they were initially in separate galleries, and now this list has become cumbersome.  In addition the placement of the cathedrals of the Eastern Catholic Churches in galleries for "Additional Archdioceses" and "Additional Dioceses" is offensive.  These are constituent parts of the Catholic Church, not "additional," and they should be respected as such.  I suggest the lists remain separate and the cathedrals removed from this list.  Farragutful (talk) 01:13, 9 April 2016 (UTC)

text: Oppose I agree with Farragutful.  When I created the format for the tables for the cathedral and diocese wiki pages, the diocese page did not have the cathedrals or pictures of the cathedrals until somebody decided to add them in.  It was meant to be a list of dioceses, not dioceses and cathedrals.  When I have time, I'll cleanup the diocese page to remove the cathedrals. Roberto221 (talk) 05:29, 9 April 2016 (UTC)

text: Oppose There's a big difference between a list of structures and a list of organizations. Cross-referencing would be helpful.--Jim in Georgia Contribs Talk  16:15, 12 May 2016 (UTC)

text: Oppose - Cathedrals are buildings. Dioceses are organizations. Gerry D (talk) 22:33, 2 October 2016 (UTC)

text: Because this has been open for about 1 year with no one but the original proposer in support.  I am going to close out the merger by removing the merge tag, and condence this list as stated at Wikipedia:Merging. Etineskid(talk) 02:39, 19 February 2017 (UTC)

message: In the table for each of the provinces, in square brackets, a notice is given with the word region followed by a cryptic roman numeral, e.g., Region XVIII. Nowhere is the word region  explained. I will delete these this worthless information unless given a reason not to. Thanks! Rwflammang (talk) 00:04, 26 August 2016 (UTC)
