Wikipedia is now being cited to address issues of faith?

It is fine as a basic reference on an objective topic. I wouldn't use it for a serious reference on a subjective topic. Can we get back to the topic at hand without the snide attitude?

My appologies if a snide attitude was conveyed.

I simply have a personal issue with individuals or authorities not being the sole understanding of that which is Holy.

I wouldn’t study Buddihsm over the internet and expect to walk into a Buddhist temple fully informed. I would also hold the same regard to your useage of Wikipedia.

Your individual account, or that of what is accepted as an “authority” on the issue would be accepted. (The Bible would be my first choice, and when discussing Catholocism, the Pope/ the Vatican.)

Again, my appologies for conveying a snide attitude.
