Talk:Divine Mercy (Catholic devotion)

Merger from Divine Mercy Sunday

The Divine Mercy Sunday article covers much of the ground that is found here, and it is a stub. It would seem to be the better approach to merge the two articles here. That will leave Divine Mercy Sunday as a redirect, so there's no loss, just gain, by giving the reader more of the story in a coherent form instead of fragmentized. --Bejnar (talk) 22:45, 31 January 2010 (UTC)

Agree - I do not see any problem with this move as long as the original redirects to here also. Marauder40 (talk) 12:59, 27 April 2010 (UTC)

IT IS BETTER TO HAVE TWO SEPARATE ARTICLES TO GIVE THE DIVINE MERCY THE MOST PUBLICITY. LEAVE THE ARTICLES AS THEY ARE, AND USE A LINK TO DIRECT PEOPLE FROM ONE ARTICLE TO THE OTHER ARTICLE. MICHAEL —Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.207.12.98 (talk) 12:21, 23 November 2010 (UTC)

Octave of Easter or not, this is the day given by our Lord Jesus Christ to celebrate his mercy, so let's do away with the other page and combine them into one page about the Divine Mercy devotion. And I agree with Marauder40.(Matt.mawson (talk) 20:56, 23 February 2011 (UTC))

Actually the divine Marcy Sunday article needs to be expanded. It is a feast in its own right and I will expand in the next few days. History2007 (talk) 02:00, 4 May 2011 (UTC)

External links

An anonymous user keeps trying to add a link to http://www.KingofMercy.com/ IMHO the link does not add anything to the site that either the article itself already has or the other external links already have. The original addition to the site mentioned a "free bumper sticker". That isn't notable enough to add a link.Marauder40 (talk) 12:54, 27 April 2010 (UTC)

do not discourage anyone from promoting God's mercy, few people are promoting God's Mercy, why stand in their way??? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.169.177.91 (talk) 17:11, 12 December 2010 (UTC)

About my revert and cleanup of ELs

I've reverted to a version from late January 2011. The edits since then have moved the article away from encyclopedia content to proselytism and original research. The content added is not supported by references to reliable sources and as such is not acceptable. Sentences such as "The Divine Mercy message is catching on in the Catholic Church" or "The Divine Mercy is a grassroots movement in as much as we spread the message in our daily lives by witnessing to others" should be avoided.

I've also purged the external links in accordance with WP:EL. Pichpich (talk) 16:15, 6 March 2011 (UTC)

I've reverted again to an earlier version. Please keep in mind that this is an encyclopedia article. It's not a howto or a church booklet and it's not the place to sing the praises of Jesus or Saint Faustina. Sentences such as it is not surprising that there are many good prayers that have originated with our prayerful sister or for the few that are called to adore Jesus the King it is the cross and so on are not acceptable. Pichpich (talk) 03:19, 30 April 2011 (UTC)

Pinch me I'm dreaming

I keep adding all these fact based additions to the page and Pichpich keeps reverting them. The page must be useful to people who are interested in learning about the Divine Mercy. Fact based additions are needed in the areas of History of the Divine Mercy and Practice of The Divine Mercy. Lists especially would be welcome. Anybody that agrees with me or who is editing this page, please agree and help support moving this page beyond a Start-Class article. (Matt.mawson (talk) 22:45, 2 May 2011 (UTC))

P.S. The only requirement for encyclopedic content is verifiability and not dryness, so everywhere I cite the Diary, there shouldn't be an issue with my posts being encyclopedic. (Matt.mawson (talk) 22:52, 2 May 2011 (UTC))

Well, I am sorry to say that this article is in a sad state. I think both of the editors have valid points: the tone of some of the items added were exaggerated and were close to preaching - against Wiki policy. However, if the tone becomes more factual, the items need to be there. I will try to clean this up in the next few days. It needs to be better than a stub. History2007 (talk) 02:06, 4 May 2011 (UTC)

I have started to fix these series of articles which really have 4 separate parts: the devotion, its painting, the chaplet, the feast. The part that is totally neglected in the current set of articles is the devotion itself! And there are still errors throughout the articles. It will take several days to fix them and add WP:RS references, etc. But it should not take longer than a week. History2007 (talk) 23:37, 4 May 2011 (UTC)

Just a note that those problems have all been remedied now, as far as I know. History2007 (talk) 14:18, 16 August 2012 (UTC)

Churches

"There are also many more sanctuaries of the Divine Mercy in all around the world, as well as churches dedicated to it. The number of them is growing rapidly non-stop and in fact they are already countless." - deleted these throw-away sentences Irish Melkite (talk) 01:15, 25 August 2014 (UTC)
