Redirect

{{ping|MB}} When talking about Catholicism, the expression does not refer primarily to the encyclical of Pius XII. For example [https://www.britannica.com/topic/mystical-body-of-Christ Britannica] and [https://www.catholicculture.org/culture/library/dictionary/index.cfm?id=35027 CatholicCulture], use the expression not to refer to the encyclical, but to the concept. A similar expression, "Mystical Body of the Church", is used in the [https://www.newadvent.org/cathen/10663a.htm Catholic Encyclopedia] to refer to the concept. The expression is also used by E. Orthodox, e.g. [https://www.oca.org/orthodoxy/the-orthodox-faith/doctrine-scripture/the-symbol-of-faith/church here], [https://orthodoxwiki.org/Ecclesiology here], [http://orthodoxinfo.com/general/stjohn_church.aspx here], [https://www.goarch.org/-/the-canonical-tradition-of-the-orthodox-church here]. Therefore, I believe my decision was justified in changing this redirect. Veverve (talk) 15:50, 8 September 2021 (UTC)

:{{u|Veverve}}, the redirect is an exact match for the English translation of Mystici corporis Christi. If you think readers searching on that term are not highly likely to be looking for this article, then it could possible be a dab page. You should start a discussion to get consensus for a change.

::{{ping|MB}} Ok, RfD for Mystical Body of Christ, Mystical body of christ, Mystical Body of christ, Mystical Body of the Church. Do you know how to do multiple RfD with Twinkle? Veverve (talk) 16:05, 8 September 2021 (UTC)

::Besides, [https://www.stjohnsfc.org/news/from-the-pastor/1494-knit-together-in-the-one-mystical-body-of-christ some Lutherans also use the expression]. Veverve (talk) 16:09, 8 September 2021 (UTC)

:::{{u|Veverve}}, Sorry, I do not. I found this in the TP archives "The method I use to do multiple nominations is ... I put text in my first nomination via Twinkle, nominate the rest with Twinkle immediately (to ensure that no one else nominated anything during this time), then remove the headers from all nominations except for the top one. Afterwards, the multi-nomination appears as it should. Steel1943 (talk) 11:21 am, 1 March 2015, Sunday (6 years, 6 months, 11 days ago) (UTC−7)". MB 16:37, 8 September 2021 (UTC)
