Talk:List of canonised popes

See also section, Portal updates

Greetings, Today, I removed the portals for Pope and Catholicism because these are already included in the article's Navbox templates (in the below = parameter). This is per MOS/Layout, See_also_section which states that As a general rule, the "See also" section should not repeat links that appear in the article's body or its navigation boxes.. In addition, I added portals Biography and History since these relate to the article being a historical list of popes & their bios. Regards, JoeHebda (talk) 13:29, 25 June 2015 (UTC)

Vandalism

This page appears to have been vandalized. I'm trying to restore it to its most recent previous good state. I've done that by copying the source from the last good revision as a new edit. After doing that I noticed that it's possible to undo revisions, but I don't really know what I'm doing on Wikipedia so I thought I'd leave it to someone more experienced to tidy up if necessary.— Preceding unsigned comment added by EngineerDollery (talk • contribs) 22:14, 7 October 2015 (UTC)

Title and scope of article

The title of this article is "List of canonised popes", yet this article includes uncanonized popes who are merely beatified, venerable, or Servant of God. Is it the will of this community to include all of these venerated popes? If so, we shall rename the article to List of venerated popes. Thank you! Elizium23 (talk) 04:23, 22 June 2021 (UTC)

If 'venerated' covers beatified, venerable and the rest alongside sainthood, then 'List of venerated popes' seems like a good redirect covering everything. -- Ineffablebookkeeper (talk) 10:09, 7 August 2021 (UTC)

John Paul (the Great)

Whatever one's individual opinion of John Paul II and whether he should be called "the great", there is a formal process for a pope to be called such, officially, and only three popes in history have been given the title - Leo I, Gregory I, and Nicholas I. Until the Church formally recognizes John Paul II or any other pope as such, we should leave it off, lest we start adding personal appellations willy-nilly. Have accordingly deleted it. 2601:600:9681:30B0:8497:F021:8528:D956 (talk) 16:16, 4 September 2022 (UTC)
