Bizzare article

[edit]

I cant understand why there is such huge article made about 300 catholics in mongolia, it is apsurd! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.198.140.44 (talk) 14:48, 3 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Some people actually care about others salvation. Judgesurreal777 (talk) 16:22, 3 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

As of 2018 it looks like there are around 1,300 Catholics in Mongolia now. Which is a bit of a story, considering Catholicism was completely outlawed by the Soviets until 1992. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 73.174.209.174 (talk) 05:18, 9 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Good article

[edit]

I've put this through as a good article. The only thing that troubled me a bit were the references - there was no "Catholic Encyclopedia 1911". However, the article in question was written, apparently in 1911 (it's date of copyright) for Volume X of the Catholic Encyclopedia, which was published in 1913. I've changed the reference accordingly. TheGrappler 05:13, 4 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Requested photograph

[edit]

It would be nice to have at least one free use photograph for this article. The cathedral would be an obvious choice. TheGrappler 05:29, 4 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

removed

[edit]

I just removed the following paragraph:

By 1300, the Catholic population numbered about 30,000. Their presence dwindled, though probably not completely vanishing in the succeeding years until the famous Matteo Ricci's coming and the great spreading of Catholicism that took place while he was at the Chinese Emperor's court. This period ended with anger and division and all missionaries went underground until the Opium War of 1841.

The reasons are

  • No source was given for the claim that catholicism survived the demise of the Yuan dynasty. Tibetan Buddhism hardly did, although it had been a kind of state religion for the Yuan emperors.
  • Likewise, no source was given that would imply that Ricci's visit to China had any impact on the Mongols. For what I know, during Ricci's time in China the Chinese were busy building the Great Wall, so it is hard to conceive that his visit to China should have affected Mongolia much.
  • The 30.000 remark seems to relate to this letter by John of Montecorvino. However, what he sais is that he only made 6.000 converts, and moreover not in Mongolia, but in Khanbalyk, which is what we today know as Beijing. I actually have read about catholicism among the (I think) Onggud tribe, but in the given form the statement was not supported by any sources and I therefore felt obliged to remove it.

GA Reassessment

[edit]
This discussion is transcluded from Talk:Roman Catholicism in Mongolia/GA1. The edit link for this section can be used to add comments to the reassessment.

I will be doing the GA Reassessment on this article as part of the GA Sweeps project.

It seems that there could be more added to this article. What missionary activity do the Catholics participate in? Are missionaries going to Mongolia and do they have any activity currently? Is the church stagnate, growing or shrinking? Ref [8] is a dead link and will need to be repaired. I'll put the article on hold for a week and welcome discussion on the issues of comprehensiveness. H1nkles (talk) 04:09, 5 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The hold has expired and no work has been done. I will delist the article. H1nkles (talk) 15:37, 11 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
