"Council of Granges"?
[edit]I can't find any information about the council of Granges (324) online, and the only reference to it is in a French-language book. It's not a council of any repute or significant authority, for example, it's not listed among the pre-ecumenical councils. Without doubt there were Christians who supported slavery, but this mention comes across as grasping at straws to tag the authority of the Church as backing slavery. I think the article should mention the council (assuming it actually existed), but include a note that it is rather obscure and non-authoritative. JKeck (talk) 14:41, 15 November 2021 (UTC)

[edit]A big chunk of the article was copied verbatim without attribution from https://en.wikisource.org/w/index.php?title=Catholic_Encyclopedia_(1913)/Influence_of_the_Church_on_Civil_Law
It's POV content, obviously, and was not written or cited in Wikipedia style. 2603:8000:E4F0:87A0:940A:5570:9230:D9F3 (talk) 05:47, 15 December 2023 (UTC)
- It is actually attributed; look at the bottom of the page ("This article incorporates text from a publication now in the public domain: Francis J. Schaefer (1913). "Influence of the Church on Civil Law". In Herbermann, Charles (ed.). Catholic Encyclopedia. New York: Robert Appleton Company.").
- The 1913 Catholic Encyclopedia is now in the public domain, so lots of articles on Catholic topics are more-or-less directly taken from it. The POV and style are indeed often a problem, and I've made a project of improving some of them, but there's about 5,000 such articles so it's a big project.— Moriwen (talk) 17:06, 15 December 2023 (UTC)
- Thanks. Better attribution would be to write, "according to the 1913 Catholic Encyclopedia" and then put it in quotation marks or blockquote. In this case, it might not have been clear which text came from that source were it not for the stilted language, etc. 2603:8000:E4F0:87A0:1CAD:3815:A234:C088 (talk) 20:08, 15 December 2023 (UTC)
- Definitely agreed, and encourage doing that. Like I said, there's a large body of articles with this issue; you can search for them here, if you're interested in helping fix them.— Moriwen (talk) 20:29, 15 December 2023 (UTC)
