When did John Paul II elevate the see of Chicago to honorary primatial status? I thought that dignity still belonged to the Archbishop of Baltimore. Can anybody give me some info or a source? Pmadrid 07:52, 13 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Largest Sees in the United States

More population info:

Chicago has 2.44 million Catholics now.
New York archdiocese has 2.47 million Catholics. In 2001, it had only 2.37 million compared to Chicago's 2.38, so it only inched out Chicago recently.
Los Angeles archdiocese, though, has 4 million Catholics. It is the largest in the United States.

Preeminent see

So I took this off the page:

It has been deemed by the Holy See as the Preeminent See of the United States due to the international fame and popularity of its archbishops...

I have yet to find any text from the Roman Curia or a pope calling Chicago "the preeminent see." If someone has a quote from a pope or a dicastery, please provide it. Pmadrid 14:14, 2 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I know this is old, but DYK: the preeminent sees in the USA are Baltimore and New Orleans. -- SECisek 21:19, 26 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Languages

First of all, the page says it ministers in four languages, then lists three. Secondly, http://www.archchicago.org/pdf/masses_in_other_languages.pdf is a list of all the languages the diocese conducts masses in...many more than either three or four. The four could come from the fact that they have three official websites: one in english, one in polish, one in spanish, and one for black catholics of chicago...black is unfortunately not a language. Anyway, that's a point that needs to be fixed.

Archbishop's Residence and other citations

I don't know if the section about the Archbishop's Residence is relevant, but the citation for it is given as [4] Archdiocese of Chicago (htm). Retrieved on 2006-04-29, which points to http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/03653a.htm. I could not find anything about the residence at this site. This citation is used several times in this article in other areas and I suspect that that is could be incorrect there as well. Craig.borchardt 4 November 2006 (UTC)

good example to follow

I would like to invite the editors of this page to come see Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Miami which achieved Featured Article status on Dec. 8 2007. It may help you organize this page in a way that helps it be more concise and representative of what the Archdiocese is. Good luck! NancyHeise (talk) 02:03, 20 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Spelling

According to http://www.catholic-hierarchy.org/diocese/dchic.html, the name of the archdiocese in Latin is Archidioecesis Chicagiensis and not Archidioecesis Chicagoensis. Which is right? 128.111.130.97 (talk) 23:56, 5 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Bot report : Found duplicate references !

In the last revision I edited, I found duplicate named references, i.e. references sharing the same name, but not having the same content. Please check them, as I am not able to fix them automatically :)

link to WIlliam Aloysius O'Connor

He is among the other priests of the Chicago archdiocese who became bishops. Unless I did something stupid, his link is broken despite the presence of "William Aloysius O'Connor" page.
