Talk:Theologian of the Pontifical Household
This article is a good example that it is not sufficient to rely on the 1913 Catholic Enyclopedia as a source for historical information. The claim that Saint Dominic was the first Master of the Holy Palace is purely legendary and was invented by the Dominicans in order to defend the office against the other mendicant orders. In reality, the Dominicans have held the office exclusively only from 1347 onwards. Cf. Brigide Schwarz, Kurienuniversität und stadtrömische Universität von ca. 1300 bis 1471, Leiden 2013, p. 261.

Theologian of the Pontifical Household → Theologian of the Papal household – Per WP:CONSISTENCY with Papal household. PPEMES (talk) 16:32, 3 July 2019 (UTC) --Relisting. — Newslinger talk 23:35, 10 July 2019 (UTC)
- Oppose. Whether the Papal Household is a proper name or not, this is a formally named post and therefore clearly is. -- Necrothesp (talk) 14:22, 4 July 2019 (UTC)
- Shouldn't you first direct that question about Papal household? PPEMES (talk) 20:38, 7 July 2019 (UTC)
- As I said, Papal household may or may not be a proper name. But this post most certainly is and in English we capitalise all parts of a proper name apart from prepositions etc. -- Necrothesp (talk) 12:17, 9 July 2019 (UTC)

- Oppose. If you wanna go for consistency, then how about renaming "Papal household" to "Pontifical household" per a literal translation of its official Latin name? Elizium23 (talk) 23:39, 10 July 2019 (UTC)
- Comment - No opinion on the pontifical-to-papal move but I agree with Necro that the consistency of capitalization based on the papal household article title is, despite obvious similarities, in fact an apples-to-oranges comparison. While papal household is debatable as a proper noun, this article's subject quite clearly is.
(I will now add this to the very short list of times I supported a capitalizing action.) Primergrey (talk) 02:49, 11 July 2019 (UTC)
