:I didn't add the Archbishop as you can see in the edit history. He was added by someone else. I just changed it so that it added the internal link as per what I said in my edit description as the person who added it did not. I did no research as to whether or not he supports it but figured I'd fix the formatting. As to the Papal addition, the piece he put out has been widely, from what I've read, been interpreted as sharing the views of OWS if not an endorsement. I haven't read much of the actual piece but it is not exactly a glowing review of American Capitalism. If you don't agree with the addition that's fine, I just thought I'd try and contribute more to that article than just grammar flow and formatting. Thanks for the explanation since I probably would have wondered why. [[User:Ayzmo|Ayzmo :)]] 17:55, 2 November 2011 (EDT)

:The addition of Rowan was done by user ScottDG, fyi. And Rowan has, according to the Telegraph article, endorsed the UK branch of OWS currently camped out outside St. Paul's. Unless the quote is false or miss-attributed(same thing really) there is no reason he shouldn't be on the list. Again, like the Pope, I really don't care if he is or not. OWS is not exactly an interest of mine. [[User:Ayzmo|Ayzmo :)]] 18:02, 2 November 2011 (EDT)

::Sorry for the mix up in attribution. Rowan did not endorse the Occupy protests, it was recognition. A decision was made not to evict the protesters, which had been the plan. Calling for banking reform might be interpreted as aligning behind the movement as he blames capitalism like the protesters do. The Telegraph headline is a bit misleading "The Archbishop of Canterbury has thrown his weight behind the St Paul’s Cathedral anti-capitalist protesters." As for the Pope, he was not calling for socialism and he was not blaming capitalism. He was blaming greed by way of liberal financial practices. Hardly an endorsement but too tempting for agenda driven WaPo not to hype. Keep up the good work and do tell what Ayzmo stands for. --[[User:Jpatt|Jpatt]] 18:54, 2 November 2011 (EDT)
