All baptised Roman Catholics ?

Today at 6:30 AM

It seems clear, to me: to complement the list of "canonical popes" would suffice - in the same project - only their respective "anti-popes".

Margaret of Clarence, Countess of Salisbury

BEATIFIED by Pope Leo XIII 12/29/1886

Margaret Pole, the Blessed, Countess of Salisbury, born Margaret of York (14 August 1473 – 27 May 1541), was an English peeress. She was the daughter of George, Duke of Clarence, who was the brother of King Edward IV and King Richard III. She was one of two women in sixteenth-century England to be a peeress in her own right with no titled husband.[2] One of the few surviving members of the Plantagenet dynasty after the Wars of the Roses, she was executed in 1541 at the command of King Henry VIII, who was the son of her cousin Elizabeth of York. Pope Leo XIII beatified her as a martyr for the Roman Catholic Church on 29 December 1886

She definitely belongs here

My own mother-in-law the most decent , honest , real Roman Catholic ever .

My grandfather who never forced his faith on his own wife -- more than 1000 years Weyers family unbroken line of Holy Mother church , same my Schmitz family .

Made me decide to accept and be baptised as a RC age 22 only .

Every baptized Catholic - whether "cradle Catholic" or convert - should be added to the Roman Catholic Church project (https://www.geni.com/projects/Roman-Catholic-Church/794). The Rooms-katholieke religieuzen project (https://www.geni.com/projects/Rooms-katholieke-religieuzen/3416) appears to be a duplicate project.

These other projects also exist, the names of which I think are self-explanatory, but please ask for clarification if you disagree about that:

https://www.geni.com/projects/Clergy/17622
https://www.geni.com/projects/Roman-Catholic-Antipopes/492
https://www.geni.com/projects/Roman-Catholic-Bishops/24009
https://www.geni.com/projects/Roman-Catholic-Cardinals/1127
https://www.geni.com/projects/Roman-Catholic-Sisters-and-Nuns/26156
https://www.geni.com/projects/Roman-Catholic-popes/360
https://www.geni.com/projects/Roman-Catholic-saints/1300

There are also projects that focus on subgroups of the aforementioned projects - for example, the Catholic Church of Québec project (https://www.geni.com/projects/Catholic-Clergy-of-Qu%C3%A9bec/17911). You can find most of those subgroup projects by navigating to the Roman Catholic Church project, then clicking the "show all" link next to the "Related Projects" heading on the right side of the page.

Private User, now I will address the various people that you mentioned above:

• the Kennedy clan - which I presume is the extended family of American president John Fitzgerald Kennedy - has many members who are Catholic
Kathryn Kiffmeyer is Catholic
Everhard Henrich Kiffmeyer is Catholic
Eleanor Mayer is Catholic
Karl Mayer is Catholic
Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis is Catholic but not a pope or a nun
Florence Rigali is Catholic and was a nun - maybe fallen, I am uncertain and probably will not find out on this side of eternity
Paul Ryan is Catholic
Margaret of Clarence, Countess of Salisbury is Catholic - I invited her profile to the Roman Catholic Church project

All of your ancestors and other relatives who are Catholic should be added to the Roman Catholic Church project.

The Abbesses project shold be renamed RC Abesses I think ?

Today at 10:27 AM

I had thought of abbots and abbesses projects as including Buddhists.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abbot_(Buddhism)

Wikipedia includes Eastern Orthodox, Coptic and Anglican.

John, genuine question: what is the value of adding people to top-level projects if more specific ones exist? For example, why add a nun to both the "Sisters and Nuns" project and the "Roman Catholic Church" one?

Think of projects like you would organizing files on your desktop. You have a "Documents" folder, then a folder inside that one called "Genealogy," then one inside that one called "Smith Family." You put a document about the Smiths only in the "Smith Family" one -- you don't copy it into all three. Does that make sense?

It makes more sense to use the "Roman Catholic Church" project as a top-level umbrella, with no profiles added to it, and then put the profiles into the more specific subprojects. All the best organized projects follow that same approach. Something to strongly consider here if we're rethinking how this longstanding project should move forward.

From what I remember, the intention of this project was more about the "Roman Catholic Church" -- meaning, Church officials, clergy, saints, etc. -- than it was about "Roman Catholics." It's never been the guidance to add everyone who ever identified as Roman Catholic -- for that, we use the "Religion" field on their profiles.

Unless JFK was secretly a priest, he isn't what the project was intended for, and I would remove him from it and put his affiliation in his "Religion" field instead.

Another great way to find guidance on who to add to a project:

Look back to the earliest profiles. For the first five years of this particular project, it was just popes, bishops, and saints -- and even then, most were instead put into subprojects, not this top-level one. The addition of laypeople to the project didn't happen until relatively recently.
