Talk:Feast of Christ the King

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] OK, what needs to be done

I did a little work and improvement to this article; what else needs to be done for this article to meet Wikipedia Quality Standards [1]? The tag said to refer to the talk page, so, let's talk.  :) ProfessorPaul 22:30, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

I suggest consolidating what the day the Feast falls on is called. The current text (non Catholic practices)says "The Church of England and the Episcopal Church observe Christ the King as a Festival (with the subtitle "The Sunday next before Advent") on the same date as the Roman Catholic Church. The Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA) celebrates the Feast of Christ the King on the same date as the Roman Catholic Church - the Sunday preceding the First Sunday in Advent. The calendar of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) celebrates Christ the King Sunday as the last Sunday of the liturgical calendar." 'Current practice' says "Since the revision of the General Roman Calendar (of) 1970 ..., the Solemnity of Christ the King falls on the last Sunday before 27 November." While in practice there is no difference between the last Sunday before 27 November, the 34th Sunday of the year, the last Sunday of the liturgical calendar, the Sunday preceding the First Sunday in Advent, and 'the Sunday next before Advent', it would make it perhaps less confusing for the student consulting this article to chose one nomenclature, and indicate at its first mention that it is in fact the same as the others. this would help clarify that when the Episcopal Church celebrates this Festival 'on the same date' as the RCs, it is not really the 'date' that is significant, but the 'location' of the celebration in the year.

I also suggest that 'the Episcopal Church' be changed to 'the Churches of the Anglican Communion'. Richardson mcphillips1 19:53, 12 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Proper Title

The proper title of this article from an RC standpoint is "Solemnity of Christ the King". Should the article's title reflect this? Bill D (talk) 01:24, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

Since it is a title specific to the Catholic Church, I think it's better the way it is. Unless we create Solemnity of Christ the King to deal only with Catholic practise, I don't think it should be changed. Carl.bunderson (talk) 08:02, 27 November 2007 (UTC)
