Comment

Long lists of names and dates for each arbitrary epoch. Cataloging (or cataloguing) does have some merit, and additionally the wikilinks do provide some access to the intellectual trends per se. Overall, however, this article within itself doesn't elucidate, it merely categorizes in a superficial way. To that extent I think the article needs rewriting to bring understanding and insight to the supposed "general intelligent reader" that the encyclopedia is targeting.

While much more could be done, my compliments to the author, and I would disagree that the epochs are necessarily arbitary. Scholasticism is often used as a period piece in discussing Catholic theology (why is there no reference to "the schoolmen", the commonly used term?) I was looking up Dalmatius Kick, and this article gave him some context. Now I will try to work with the material more and .. possibly .. make some contributions. The fact that Erasmus is omitted, however, makes for a concern that there is some POV beyond elucidation involved. If the article is going to omit major Catholic historical individuals, even if they are in a sense contra "dogmatic theology", the reasons should be given (e.g. later considered heretical, do not fit conveniently in the current categories). Better, tweak the article to include.

History of Catholic dogmatic theology → Catholic dogmatic theology – Per WP:CONCISE (while slightly broadening the scope), but most importantly per WP:CONSISTENCY with Catholic theology. Compare the scope of Catholic theology: as it includes history, there is indeed no History of Catholic theology. Chicbyaccident (talk) 10:31, 13 September 2018 (UTC) --Relisting.
