I made this article from scratch. I decided to start with the 6 spiritualities with which I am most familiar. There are other Catholic spiritualities - Opus Dei, Neo-Catechumenal, etc. - with which I am less familiar, but I hope others will add them. 67.80.139.189 01:39, 28 November 2005 (UTC)Reply

Requested move

edit

Catholic spiritualityRoman Catholic spirituality – In keeping with the name of the main article page (Roman Catholic Church), this article refers specifically to that denomination and not to churches in the Catholic tradition generally. NOTE: Talk page name does not match article name. Fishhead64 00:56, 11 July 2006 (UTC)Reply

This article, though it contains good information, is often written from what is called in other WIkipedia contexts an "in-universe" perspective. It mostly seems to assume that people reading the article are already immersed in Catholic tradition; it also seems at moments to assume that readers are seeking spiritual guidance rather than information. (They may be; but they will need to explore further.) I rewrote the first sentence a little. It might be helpful to elucidate the subtle grammatical difference between the two Latin passages. I'm also assuming, though I don't know, that the acceptance of faith (distinguished from personal acts of faith) pertains to the Credo? Cynwolfe (talk) 16:34, 4 August 2009 (UTC)Reply

Suggestions

edit

I'd like to suggest possible changes to the outline, specifically, to add a section on "Mendicant Orders" and to move (at least) the sections on Franciscan, Dominican and Servite spiritualities there. The Franciscan, Dominican and Servite charisms are not monastic, and their members in what are known as the "first orders" are properly referred to as "friars" and not as "monks." Similarly, the Redemptorists and Jesuits (Ignatian spirituality is the creation of Ignatius of Loyola, one of the founders of the Society of Jesus) are also not monastic orders, but neither are they "mendicant" orders.

An alternative, possibly better, would be to change the heading from "Monastic Orders" to "Charisms" as this would allow the section to be expanded at length as contributors can add in summaries from many different Catholic spiritual traditions. This would also invite a brief explanation of what charisms are in Catholicism, and how these different approaches fit into a cohesive whole within the Catholic Church.
