Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just modified one external link on Fides ecclesiastica. Please take a moment to review my edit. If you have any questions, or need the bot to ignore the links, or the page altogether, please visit this simple FaQ for additional information. I made the following changes:

Added archive https://web.archive.org/web/20110810175256/http://www.vatican.va/holy_father/john_paul_ii/audiences/alpha/data/aud19930324en.html to http://www.vatican.va/holy_father/john_paul_ii/audiences/alpha/data/aud19930324en.html

Completed the merger[edit]

I saw there were some still-pending merger proposals, so I moved them here. I'm new to the merger process, so I hope I did it correctly. LimonesMI (talk) 22:13, 29 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

As a result of the merger, perhaps this article should be renamed Theological grades of certainty or something similar.

I see that Category:Theological grades of certainty exists and is likely redundant as a result of these mergers. LimonesMI (talk) 22:16, 29 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@LimonesMI: all your edit summaries contain something along the line of See Talk:merger discussion section. However, the link leads to nowhere. Could you provide a link to the merger discussions for what you have merged into this article? Veverve (talk) 07:32, 4 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I have reviewed my past edit summaries, and I'm not sure what my intention was in creating those links to a (nonexistent) merger discussion section. Given those edits were a few months ago, my memory of it is a bit fuzzy. LimonesMI (talk) 16:56, 5 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Merge[edit]

@Manannan67: you merged some of the four articles to this one without explaining why.

It seems like it was a bad idea, since all the articles you have merged into this one are distinct concepts and not variations of fides ecclesiastica beliefs but respective levels of belief.

See for example [1]:

they are to be believed with divine faith (fides divina) and if they are also defined by the Church, then with defined divine faith (fides divina definita). If the Church defines a doctrine that is not immediately revealed, it is to be believed with ecclesiastical faith (fides ecclesiastica). A doctrine that theologians generally regard as a truth of revelation, but that has not been finally promulgated by the Church, is said to be proximate to faith (proxima fidei), and if such a truth is guaranteed as the logical conclusion from a revealed doctrine, it is called theologically certain (theologice certa). Below this level are many graces of certainty, ranging from common teaching (sententia communis), when Catholic theologians responsive to the Church's authority agree on some historical event as having occurred through the miraculous intervention of God.

I will now fix this by moving the article as suggested above. Veverve (talk) 03:13, 3 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I merged TWO articles, both stubs tagged for notability. These are all gradations of the same concept, and while you may think it "a bad idea", apparently User:LimonesMI did not as he/she merged the rest. Please stop trying to fix things that aren't broke. Manannan67 (talk) 03:31, 3 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

These are all gradations of the same concept: yes, gradations of theological certainty; not gradations of the fides ecclesiastica level of certainty. It is LimonesMI who suggested the article be renamed on this talk page, as I said.

Now, everything is fixed. Veverve (talk) 04:42, 3 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
