Talk:Anthony de Mello (priest)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This article contains bias. The mentioning of De Mello's work as being heretical, without any discussion of opposing opinions is biased. (not signed)
The article doesn't say that his writings are heretical (which is arguably an NPOV), it also doesn't say that he was wrong (which would be POV), it says that they were condemned, which is an objective verifiable fact.--Samuel J. Howard 19:40, Apr 4, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Error in story
There is a factual error in the item about deMello. The "Notification" by the Vatican occurred in 1998 NOT 1988.
- You are right. I have fixed it. Feel free to change things yourself in future. --Peacenik 14:00, 7 May 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Another Anthony de Mello
We need to create a disambiguation page (which I don't know how to do) as there is another Anthony de Mello, founder of the Board of Control for Cricket in India.
[edit] Vatican Notification
I do not agree that this recent change to insert the entire vatican notification is appropriate. I think it would be more appropriate to provide a link to the notification on the VAtican website.
If there is no discussion within one week, I will revert to the previous version. --Peacenik 02:14, 27 September 2005 (UTC)
- As mentioned above, I have removed the detail regarding the Vatican Notification. There is a link in the external links.--Peacenik 02:58, 5 October 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Link to Tony's brother's biography
Why did someone remove the link to the biography by Tony de Mello's brother? It seems very relevant. I will add it back unless someone has a good reason not to.

[edit] excommunicated?
So, is he excommunicated or not? He is listed on the List of people excommunicated by the Roman Catholic Church. Seems like that would be a pertinent fact to add to his article if true... --PaddyM 19:30, 6 May 2006 (UTC)
- He shouldn't be as his writings were condemned posthumously. You cannot be excommunicated posthumously. Str1977 (smile back) 09:20, 20 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Birthplace
In the German Wiki the birthplace of de Mello is Santa Cruz, Bombay. This is in contradiction to the English Wiki, which speaks of Goa. Do someone know more about this issue?
- On the Homepage of de Mello's brother [2] the biography says that de Mello was born in Santa Cruz near Mumbai/Bombay and not in Goa. There are two Santa Cruzes...
