This Wikipedia Manual of Style supplement has been created through the efforts and broad consensus of contributors to WikiProject Catholicism. Please follow these conventions when you contribute to Catholic Church-related articles so that they are neutral and stylistically in WP:Consistency for better and easier reader comprehension.

Articles about the Catholic Church in specific sovereign territories should avoid creating unnecessary confusion. For examples:

• Catholic Church in England and Wales
  • This may be referred to as the Catholic Church in England, but preferably avoid "English Church" for risk of confusion with the Church of England (Anglican)
• Catholic Church in Denmark
  • This may be referred to as the Catholic Church in Denmark, but preferably avoid "Danish Church" for risk of confusion with the Church of Denmark (Lutheran)

For reasons of misconnotions of the term "Career" and such, it is advised that if the article content needs to be divided into different headings, the curriculum of the subject of the biography may be divided into:

• Presbyteriate
• Episcopate
• Cardinalate
• Papacy

See for example: Pope Francis ("Career" notion explicitly dismissed by very subject of the biography, and also rendering connotations generally not fully applicable for the topic).
