Infobox Draft[edit]

I don't have the time to make this right at the moment, but I wanted to put it here in case someone else did have the time! {{Infobox Catholic diocese |Catholic Diocese of =Roman Catholic Diocese of Austin |Latin name of diocese =Dioecesis Austiniensis |Metropolitan province =[[Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston]] |image = |image caption = |rite =[[Roman Rite]] |patron = [[Saint Mary]]|cathedral =[[Cathedral of Saint Mary in Austin|St. Mary's Cathedral, Austin]] |metropolitan =[[Daniel DiNardo]] |bishop =[[Gregory Michael Aymond]] |location =Austin, TX, USA |territory =[[County (United States)|Counties of]] Mills, Hamilton, San Saba, Lampasas, Coryell, McLennan, Limestone, Bell, Falls, Robertson, Mason, Llano, Burnet, Williamson, Milam, Brazos, Blanco, Travis, Bastrop, Lee, Burleson, Washington, Hays, and Caldwell Counties and the part of Fayette county north of the Colorado River |population = |established =[[November 15]], [[1947]] |website =[http://www.austindiocese.org Diocese of Austin] }} Kraft (talk) 19:23, 25 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

{{Infobox Roman Catholic diocese}} already does the job. I've put {{Infobox Catholic diocese}} up for deletion. Bazj (talk) 14:01, 30 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Copyright violation[edit]

The edit by User:Hkjackson added in material that was a direct cut-and-paste from the "about" page at the diocese Web site (http://www.austindiocese.org/about.php). I reverted it.Blueboy96 16:45, 5 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]


Coat of arms section[edit]

It sounds like it was copied from somewhere, and much of it is somewhat pointless without an accompanying image in any case... AnonMoos (talk) 07:15, 22 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Copyright violation cut-and-pasted from http://www.austindiocese.org/about_coatofarms.php , removed it. AnonMoos (talk) 08:03, 22 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

OK, I made a coat of arms image File:Austin-Catholic-diocese-shield-CoA.svg, and information about the coat of arms can be included (not directly cut-and-pasted from the diocesan website). AnonMoos (talk) 15:33, 22 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Anyway, the diocesan website claims that it's from Stephen F. Austin's coat of arms, but it's hard to tell from searching on-line that he even had a coat of arms. It actually seems to be from one of various similar coats of arms (Argent, on a fess between two chevrons Sable, three crosses-crosslets Argent; — Argent, on a fess between two chevrons sable, three crosses Or; — Argent, on a fess between two chevrons Sable, three crosses-crosslets Or) which are listed in old books as associated with various Austen/Austin/Austyn/Aston etc. families, but which by the nature of heraldry could not really be associated with Stephen F. Austin without evidence of a specific connection... AnonMoos (talk) 20:57, 22 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
P.S. See now File:Austin_Family_Arms.svg... -- AnonMoos (talk) 00:14, 18 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Italian Wikipedia[edit]

The Italian Wikipedia article it:Diocesi di Austin has a fair amount of stats and info, but I don't really feel qualified to try to translate it... AnonMoos (talk) 16:44, 9 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Please create "Bishops" section[edit]

It is to have the existing list of bishops of the diocese, and will have a new category: bishop to serve elsewhere who served as a priest of this diocese. Michael Sis has just been named bishop of San Angelo. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.63.16.20 (talk) 15:11, 12 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

This section was created, but probably should be reworded. Bishop Wack was a priest serving *in* the diocese at the time of his appointment, but was not *of* this diocese. He was a religious priest of the Congregation of Holy Cross.
Locally, he was celebrated as a local being named a bishop, so I have no personal objection to "Bishops who served as priests in this diocese", but can understand if the section should remain as is while striking him. Kraft (talk) 20:49, 25 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

July 2021 Latin Church revision[edit]

As of July 2021, this article was modified to eliminate the nondescript term "Roman Catholic" in favor of the more precise distinction of "Latin Church" (the sui iuris church) and "Catholic Church" (the denomination). If you believe this edit to be in error or improper, please make the relevant reversion and open discussion on this talk page or my personal talk page. Thank you. ~ Pbritti (talk) 22:33, 17 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
