Provide a concise | ===Lead Section=== | ||
Provide a concise lead section (3–4 sentences) for the diocese, summarizing its essential characteristics and engaging readers with a Catholic perspective. Include the following: | |||
* '''Full Name and Type''': State the diocese’s full name (e.g., Diocese of Charleston) and administrative type (e.g., Suffragan diocese, Archdiocese, Eparchy), with [[suffragan diocese]] linked to its MediaWiki page. | |||
* '''Liturgical Rite and Status''': Specify the liturgical rite (e.g., [[Latin Rite]], [[Byzantine Rite]]) with a wiki link and confirm the diocese’s status (Active or Historic). | |||
* '''Location''': Identify the country ([[United States]]) and primary region (e.g., [[South Carolina]]), using wiki links for both. | |||
* '''Founding''': Note the year or century of establishment (e.g., 1820) and the founding papal authority (e.g., [[Pope Pius VII]]), with a wiki link to the pope. | |||
* '''Current Bishop''': For active dioceses, name the current bishop and their start year (e.g., Jacques Fabre-Jeune as of 2023), without linking the bishop’s name unless a MediaWiki page exists. | |||
* '''Significance''': Highlight the diocese’s role within the Catholic Church, such as its place in the [[Ecclesiastical Province of Atlanta]] (with a wiki link) or its historical importance for historic dioceses. | |||
* '''Notable Fact''': Include one engaging fact to draw reader interest, such as a famous bishop, cultural influence, or significant event (e.g., a Eucharistic Congress with specific attendance and year), ensuring it is sourced and verifiable. | |||
* '''For Historic Dioceses''': Mention suppression or merger details and any titular status, to be expanded in the article text’s “Titular Status” section. | |||
'''Guidelines''': | |||
* Use a clear, accessible, and neutral tone, reflecting a Catholic point of view, per [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style/Lead_section Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Lead section]. | |||
* Avoid duplicating detailed infobox data (e.g., Catholic population, schools, rating, priest count). | |||
* Do not tease or reference later article content. | |||
* Apply MediaWiki formatting: bold the diocese name (e.g., '''Diocese of Charleston'''), use double brackets for internal links (e.g., [[South Carolina]]), and ensure proper link targets. | |||
* Keep the lead concise, avoiding excessive detail while covering all required elements. | |||
* Ensure all claims are verifiable, with sources cited in the article body (e.g., diocesan websites, Catholic-Hierarchy.org). | |||
'''Example Output''': | |||
The '''Diocese of Charleston''', a [[suffragan diocese]] of the [[Latin Rite]], is an active diocese encompassing the entire state of [[South Carolina]] in the [[United States]]. Founded in 1820 by [[Pope Pius VII]], it is led by Bishop Jacques Fabre-Jeune as of 2023. As part of the [[Ecclesiastical Province of Atlanta]], the diocese serves a growing Catholic community in a historically Protestant region, with 96 parishes and 21 missions. A notable aspect is its vibrant Eucharistic Congress, which drew over 2,000 participants in 2024, reflecting its dynamic role in fostering Catholic faith in the Southeast. | |||
