NPOV...this article seems to reflect a Russian Orthodox point of view... e.g. calling the formation of the Russian Catholic Church a schism (russian Catholics would consider it either the healing of a schism or that there wasn't one to begin with. Or see the use of the word "Purported".--Samuel J. Howard 14:07, 25 December 2006 (UTC)

Mistitled. The terminology Russian Catholic Church is almost universally understood among both Catholics in Russia (Latin and Eastern) and Eastern Catholics generally to refer to Russian Catholics of the Latin (Western) Church. (This is, in fact, a truism with regard to Catholics in most of the Slavic nations that have native communities of both Latin and Byzantine Catholics.) I don't have time to change it now and also fix the "links to" - so, I'll wait and do both tonight. Irish Melkite 10:27, 30 May 2007 (UTC)

The article originally listed St. Andrews in El Segundo as a Russian Catholic Church. It is in fact a Russian Greek Catholic Church. It is a part of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Los Angeles however it is entrusted to the care of the Melkite Eparchy of Newton, Mass.

[edit] Holy Cross Abbey, Chevetogne

There seems to be a dispute about the link to Holy Cross Abbey. As far as I can tell Inferno has acted properly in adding a link. Is there some concern about including the link? Cheers, Majoreditor (talk) 18:39, 16 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] two exarchates?

The Catholic Hierarchy site only lists one (http://www.catholic-hierarchy.org/diocese/dmoby.html) Richardson mcphillips (talk) 20:18, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Michel d'Herbigny and the Russicum

I realize wikipedia does not intend to be exhaustive, but I wonder if this would be a good place to mention Bishop d'Herbigny and the work of the Russicum or a link to the article about the Russicum, which is very brief. Richardson mcphillips (talk) 20:25, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

If you are able, please do! There aren't that many people who know enough to comment and write, so any contribution would be much appreciated. InfernoXV (talk) 13:18, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
