: regarding Spalding Faz, perhaps you should

Wikipedia makes no claim that you can use it's opinions about an author to condemn that writer in the specific, Catholic Church related, way you have. There's no need for me to 'update' his entry.
: No and I never set out to do this.
Clearly you did as you go on to elaborate ...
: I have

: Age ideas and as I just pointed out to Alex*
: Spalding was a member of and his writings
: inspired by the New Thought movement, a

In short, condemnation by (tenuous) association. You don't attempt to provide a critical analysis of the words quoted, but seek to 'condemn' the man. Pure ad hominem, Pete.
