High importance?[edit]

In the scope of understanding the 2000 year history of the Catholic Church, and the modern universal church, I don't feel that Cardinal Dulles is a subject that meets the criteria of a High-importance article. From the project's assessment page, High-priority topics and needed subtopics of "key" articles, often with a broad scope; needed to complement any general understanding of the field. While Cardinal Dulles is an influencial modern theologian, his impact on Catholicism is no where near the others in the "high-priority" range, such as Thomas Aquinas and Augustine of Hippo, or even the mid-priority articles on Lawrence of Brindisi and Peter Chrysologus, all Doctors of the Church. I'd rate Cardinal Dulles as Low, maybe Mid-importance. Gentgeen 01:24, 17 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Seeing no reply, I've reassessed it. Gentgeen 07:34, 22 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Place of Birth[edit]

The biography box says he was born in New York City, but the actual article says he was born in Auburn, west of Syracuse (about a 300-mile difference). Which is correct? --Paploo (talk) 07:30, 16 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The New York Times obituary says Auburn. www.nytimes.com/2008/12/13/us/13dulles.html SHJohnson (talk) 19:50, 10 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

As does his faculty bio: http://www.fordham.edu/dulles/Bio.shtml Gimmetrow 00:41, 11 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Styles[edit]

The "styles" template has the wrong template. He isn't a bishop, so he has a different coat of arms. Adelbrecht (talk) 21:10, 23 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

InfoBox titling[edit]

The InfoBox styles him as "His Eminence the Most Reverend Lord" (emphasis added) - 'the Most Reverend' is inaccurate inasmuch as he was never elevated to the episcopacy and 'Lord' would have been an inaccurate usage even if he had been a bishop. I've removed the phrase Irish Melkite (talk) 15:57, 3 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Relationship with his Father?[edit]

Is there anything out there on his relationship with his father - the former secretary of State? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.183.129.55 (talk) 21:48, 19 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
