Editor uses a bunch of IPs to remove "Roman" from "Roman Catholic"; representative articles are Catholic Church, Rachel Maddow, Saints, Loyola Marymount University, Eucharist, Carthusian, Trappists, and a host of others. Typically reference is made to "we" Catholics: "'Roman' was removed from 'Roman Catholic' because in none of the 16 documents of Vatican II does the Catholic Church refer to itself as 'Roman' Catholic, but simply as Catholic. We are not 'Romans.'" Other edit summaries speak of rights to names: "Please respect the right of the university to name itself as it chooses, not as Protestants choose." Mention is made of documents: "Both the University and The Catholic Encyclopedia refer to it as "Catholic, NOT "Roman" Catholic.", and "The term 'Roman' Catholic appears in NONE of the 16 documents from Vatican II, and is not accepted by the Church in self-identification. (See Kenneth B. Whitehead, 'How the Church Got Her Name')". Note: this is the Whitehead article--hardly authoritative.

Another interest: Alicia Sacramone.

Was using the name "Brother Thomas, OFLO", but may have re-invented himself as "Brother Thomas, Ocart". It don't matter, I guess, what one makes up--this person appears to be a poser anyway.

Many of the IPs geolocate to the area where Iowa, Nebraska, Kansas and Missouri meet, or nearby.
