POV

'CAFOD do beautiful things, to beautiful hearts' is totally POV, and totally outa there. Larklight 18:12, 6 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

"Criticism" section

I've slightly improved (I think) the "Criticism" section by adding quotation marks around a direct quotation and removing some heavy POV. However, the entire section still has a POV undercurrent, and if I had the time I'd rewrite it entirely. Anyone want to help with that? AnturiaethwrTalk 18:16, 9 December 2008 (UTC)CARINA[reply]

PR/NPOV

Much as I don't like to flag charity articles for NPOV issues (even if they ARE Catholic...) this article reads like an advert and has some completely unsubstantiated claims in there. e.g. the "Compassion" section.

The claims may well be true but they're too subjective to be stated as fact without some clear evidence and re-writing. You can't state things like "CAFOD is deeply affected by the suffering of those...etc" for example. If that's part of the organisation's PR material then it should be stated as such, and not as a neutral viewpoint. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.141.169.163 (talk) 13:33, 14 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Use of etc.

Is it really encyclopedic to use the term "etc"? Also, the sentence after using this term says "They also put adverts on TV" but would it not be more encyclopedic to put the word "television" in full? Vorbee (talk) 06:20, 21 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
