Crete

[edit]

This article first says that Titus worked on the island of Crete, citing the New Testament book of Titus as a source. Then the last paragraph states that the book of Titus is about a different Titus. This seems contradictory.

Apostleship

[edit]

"Apostle Titus". Titus appears in some traditions of the Seventy Apostles, who are not enumerated in Luke; in Wikipedia articles, the others of the Seventy or the Seventy-Two are not glamorized with the title "Apostle". The Catholic Encyclopedia has no mention of an "Apostle Titus" Not every Christian of the "apostolic Age" is an apostle. The title should be justified in the article, if justification is possible. --Wetman 08:50, 18 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Nomenclature for saints in general on Wikipedia seems horribly inconsistent. For articles I've written or edited heavily I avoid titles like "Saint", "Blessed", "Apostle" and such in the article title and save it for the intro. But I also see articles on "Saint Soandso" all over the place. Is there an applicable policy or consensus about this anywhere?
In this particular case I checked my references (a Slavonic Apostol') and Titus does not appear in the list of the Seventy as far as I can see. TCC (talk) (contribs) 09:13, 18 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
On the other hand, I must have missed it. This says he was among the Seventy. [1] TCC (talk) (contribs) 19:56, 18 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move 2007

[edit]
The following discussion is an archived discussion of the proposal. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the proposal was PAGE MOVED to Titus (Biblical) per discussion below. There remains a question of whether to move Titus to Titus (emperor), and that discussion is at Talk:Titus#Page move to Titus (emperor). -GTBacchus(talk) 00:54, 15 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]


I propose to move this page because the Biblical Titus is more important than the Emperor Titus. Also, Titus does not meet the Biblical criteria to be an apostle. A man had to meet certain qualifications to be an apostle of Jesus Christ:

  1. He must have seen the risen Christ (1 Cor. 9:1),
  2. Fellowshipped with Him (Acts 1:21-22), and
  3. He had to be chosen by the Lord (Eph. 4:11).

  • I'm sorry for my heathen ignorance, but I disagree. On the top of my head, I'd say the following emperors are more famous than Titus: Caesar. Augustus. Marcus Aurelius. Nero. Caligula. Hadrianus. Trajanus. Maybe you could argue if a couple more like Vespasianus are more or less famous than Titus, but you get the picture.--Victor falk 13:37, 8 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Image

[edit]

Image request from Wikipedia:Requested pictures/Architecture: The page on St. Titus has no picture. An ideal one would be the icon from Basilica of St. Titus in Gortys, Crete. A decent exterior shot would also allow an article about the building itself. De Guerre (talk) 04:31, 10 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
