Requested move[edit]

Roman Catholic Church in CanadaRoman Catholicism in Canada – Most articles in Category:Roman Catholic Church by country have the form Roman Catholicism in Canada. A stub exists in that place. The stub should be deleted and the more developed article moved to replace it. Gimmetrow 15:08, 4 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Discussion[edit]

I rejected the move. 2 problems. First of all, we already have a Roman Catholicism in Canada article. And secondly, we do have Roman Catholic Church in... articles. --Woohookitty(meow) 08:07, 14 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, the Roman Catholicism in Canada article exists, in fact that's why I put in the move request. That article is a stub, it needs to be deleted before this article can be moved - I said this in the move request. It's obvious that the norm is "Roman Catholicism in X" for the name - I'm not going to count them but it looks like 90% that way. The other 10% should be moved too, but this article needs special attention because of the stub article in the way. Gimmetrow 11:23, 14 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I had misunderstood. The move has been made. --Woohookitty(meow) 11:27, 14 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

History of RC church in Canada[edit]

I think it's of note the role that Catholic church has/has had in Canada (i.e. funding of separate schools in Ontario to this day, Manitoba schools question, missionaries going to New France, influence in Quebec leading up to the "quiet revolution" etc) perhaps someone more knowledgeable on this matter could expound on it in this article?

Cleanup Needed. Article needs a lot of improvement[edit]

This article needs work. Sorry but, IMO it doesn't remotely match the standards of many other "Roman Catholicism in ____ " articles. Even countries with far fewer Catholics (example: Roman Catholicism in Norway) have a better article. This article needs better organization, better grammer, a more detailed history, images. Other sections such as regional breakdown, ethnic origin, etc would be useful too.

If anyone has the chance, view the articles such as Roman Catholicism in the United States or other such articles as example. --Mezaco (talk) 18:44, 8 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed. How many of the Catholics are French speakers, and how many English speakers? Where else have they come from? Questions like that. 50.37.80.176 (talk) 04:17, 6 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Hello friends. Working on cleanup and growth of this article a little bit at a time. We'll get there. Will aim for a more chronological order. It is hard to follow at present and kind of jumps around. Pppetitefleur (talk) 23:14, 15 May 2018 (UTC).[reply]

Claim for Henry VII, not Henry VIII[edit]

I think that Cabot must have claimed the land for King Henry VII, who was king at the time, not Henry VIII. Thank you, David Adamson Ae1083t (talk) 04:36, 18 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

yes indeed. i fixed it. Rjensen (talk) 04:40, 18 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

state funded denominational schools[edit]

"Alone in North America, Newfoundland had a state funded system of denominational schools"  Didn't Quebec have exactly 4 school systems, English Catholic, English Protestant, French Catholic, and French Protestant? --Richardson mcphillips (talk) 23:52, 12 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
The factual error noted above was corrected today, but the entire paragraph on Newfoundland needs much work + more references. Work in progress. Pppetitefleur (talk) 23:47, 29 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
