"Anglican clergyman with evangelical leanings, and brought a sensibility to the modern Catholic Church that had its origins in the work of John Wesley" -I'm thinking that might have a point of view problem. I place this here to see if any of the writers of this article wish to change their work before I attempt. gren
- This page has obviously been vandalised. As I'm not a registered user I cannot revert the vandalisms. The {{vandalism}} template now places the page on deletion requests instead of being just an alert - so I cannot use that to raise the alarm. What to do? --157.157.209.20 23:28, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
The passage "At the time his support for unions and a living wage were viewed as radically leftist. Yet other statements seem to be opposed to capitalism as well" is awkward to me as it seems to be saying the document was seen as "Radically leftist, yet opposed to capitalism." I suppose the point is that not only the support for unions and a living wage were opposed to capitalism, but there must be a better way to put this. I also intend to add something about Distributism. Zerobot 14:27, 31 March 2006 (UTC)
- I think "Radically leftist, yet opposed socialism" would be more accurate and meaningful. Opposing socialism, communism, and the Manchester capitalism made it a bit unusual.--T. Anthony 04:23, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] POV
"The encyclical and its impact" section is pure propaganda. There are numerous biased claims, a few of them are that it states that the book "refuted" the claims of socialists, and the section says, "While individual positions or statements have been debated, the work was remarkable as a summary of many issues raised by the industrial revolution and modern democratic societies." The vast majority of people disagree the basic claims of the encynical (or at least large sections of it), not only indivdual statements. This article also fails to include critism of it and its assosication with fascism. 72.139.119.165 18:47, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
- I made the section NPOV now, but work could still be done on it. 72.139.119.165 01:18, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
This article is now part of the Roman Catholic's agenda for propagating their faith. It needs to be completely revamped as to what this document was and what it means and fascist dictators that used this document to support them in the tyrannical dictates in their countries. Propaganda by Catholic editors on wikipedia should be hindered. The readers and researchers in wikipedia community deserve the truth. Not the output of the Roman agenda through their Universal Church which the pope says is the only Christian church on earth. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Tlthe5th (talk • contribs) 17:05, 7 September 2007 (UTC)
