@Dahn: Regarding this revert, this biography is all about politics and nothing about religious beliefs. What is Aaron the Tyrant's contribution to ecumenism? Marcocapelle (talk) 06:18, 20 August 2019 (UTC)Reply

  • @Marcocapelle: That's not actually true: search the text for "Primacy of Peter", and read around it. I'll admit it's not a terribly impressive contribution, but categories should be inclusive of minor topics, not just "major contributions" or whatnot, as they give readers a chance to probe into the history of a topic. I think we should slowly move to a subcat along the lines of "Catholic-Orthodox union attempts before the [whatever moment is defining for all Eastern Catholics]" (which would also group Eastern Catholics avant la lettre). But for now, this will do. Dahn (talk) 06:27, 20 August 2019 (UTC)Reply
  • Again, that was just about politics. At some point in the Thirty Years' War France started supporting the Protestants, would you also classify that as ecumenism? Marcocapelle (talk) 06:30, 20 August 2019 (UTC)Reply
  • Recognizing the Primacy of Peter is a tad more than just politics. Also: did Richelieu obtain recognition of Catholic doctrines from said Protestants? Cause if he did, then yes, they would belong as well. See my point? Dahn (talk) 06:34, 20 August 2019 (UTC)Reply
  • This aside from the fact that Catholics and Orthodox are not divided along the same lines as Catholics and Protestants are -- which is why the Eastern Catholic churches are now a thing. See for instance Udriște Năsturel, who used Jesuit propaganda against the Protestants while remaining fully Orthodox. Dahn (talk) 06:37, 20 August 2019 (UTC)Reply
