Talk:Joseph Bernardin
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] "Totally disputed" tag
I have added the above tag to this article and highlighted the problemmatic passage. IF such evidence exists (and no, I do NOT mean the late Malachi Martin's novel,Windswept House), it needs to be cited; otherwise, this passage needs to be removed. --207.144.6.251 6 July 2005 05:58 (UTC)
That would be me, before I created an account. Unless I get some feedback on this in the next 24 hours, I am going to remove the section in question. --Midnite Critic 8 July 2005 03:15 (UTC)
[edit] Seamless Garment
I made the slightest changes possible to reflect that Bernardin created the "Seamless Garment of Life" phrase & philosophy; he wasn't just an "early proponent." See, e.g., http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/connelly/215804_joel14.html or any hard copy biography of Bernardin; or google the phrase bernardin seamless garment. "Consistent Life" is a name change adopted by the Seamless Garment Network 8 years after Bernardin's death; it is a near-synonym but not contemporary with his life nor featured in his work. It is not a perfect synonym, in that Consistent Life is an umbrella group which includes non-Catholic, non-Christian groups beyond Bernardin's ambit and it looks as though they may have expanded his agenda, too, but I left it in the article for researchers to see for themselves. -- Lisasmall 06:49, 18 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] .
Changed the "Controversy" subhead to "False accusation and illness" because there does not seem to be much controversial about the events surrounding the cardinal's illness and death!
