→Move to "Catholic Church"?
It is not much of a surprise that the Roman Catholic Church sees itself as the only valid church (ecclesia catholica). But others may have a different view, like the U.S. DoD, which uses for its [[dog tag]]s "CC: Catholic Churches (excludes Roman Catholic Church)" and "CR: Roman Catholic Church"... --[[User:AugustO|AugustO]] ([[User talk:AugustO|talk]]) 19:29, 26 May 2016 (EDT)

:A U.S. soldier can put whatever religion he likes on his tag, so long as it fits in the allotted space.

::You are absolutely right - how fascinating. I erroneously believed that a soldier had to choose one of the faith group codes ([http://www.dtic.mil/whs/directives/corres/pdf/773054m_vol2.pdf p. 12]), but the U.S. military doesn't touch this can of worms - how very wise. When I was in the ''Bundeswehr'', there were only a few abbreviations for the dog tags, ''ev'' (protestant) ''rk'' (roman catholic) two of them. --[[User:AugustO|AugustO]] ([[User talk:AugustO|talk]]) 09:47, 27 May 2016 (EDT)
