Another Suggestion....

[Rising_Suns]

Maybe it would be a little less confusing if the title of each section were in the subject heading instead of the section numbers. This way, anyone dropping by could easily find/see something they may be interested in learning what the CCC says about it. The way it is now, you would need a table of contents on hand to navigate your way to a subject your interested in.

I like it

I think that's a great idea, especially for those who do not own a personal copy of the Catechism of the Catholic Church, and want to know Church Teaching on a certain matter.

And Kim, you are a star.

 

[KennySe]

I have a suggestion too.

Besides putting the subject matter, also include a sequential number.

So we can more easily know which Opening post follows which Opening post

****

I forget which CCC paragraph I have already read and commented on.. but it would be easier, (so I think) if the numbers were from #1 (1st CCC OP) upward.

 

[kimber1]

if y'all could explain this to me in common terms that i understand i'd be happy to comply i'm not exactly sure how you want me to word the titles

 

[Rising_Suns]

hi kimber


ok for example;

instead of..

Disecting the Catechism-Study Guide by kimber1 Part 1 section 2 prg.238-242

My suggestion would be to replace it with...

II. THE REVELATION OF GOD AS TRINITY; The Father revealed by the Son, P1,S2,pg238-242


With the title in the subject line, it would be easier for people dropping by to find something of interest, maybe something that they are particularly struggling with at that moment.

 

[Rising_Suns]

also, if the subject heading is too long, my suggestion would be to remove the part/section/page information out of the subject heading (highlighted in red, below), and simply place it in the begining of the post...





II. THE REVELATION OF GOD AS TRINITY; The Father revealed by the Son, P1,S2,pg238-242







just a suggestion though. what do you all think?

 

[kimber1]

ah okay i get it now! that makes sense! give me some time and i'll do that!!

 

[kimber1]

oh and so i understand kenny correctly, you want me to number each post consecutively like the very first one that started at like paragraph 20 or something like that: at the beginning of the title put #1 then the newly worded title adn so on?

I think that's what he's saying is to have some sort of tag at the beginning.

(1) THE REVELATION OF GOD AS TRINITY; The Father revealed by the Son

and the very next section title would look like:

(2) .....








Kimber, May I make another suggestion?

The Catechsim is grouped into specific sections, in this order: Part, Section, Chapter, Article, Paragraph, subsection.

Right now, you are breaking down the whole Catechism is very small sections, to the subsection. If you were to continue making a thread for each subsection, you would have another 1,000 or so threads to create before you covered the whole Catechism. Ouch! So instead of working your fingers to death, I would suggest that you break it down into, say, Chapters, and paste everything in that chapter into the first post of each thread. This way you could cover the whole Catechism in less than 50 separate threads, for discussion.

I apologize if I can't explain myself well enough. does this make sense kimber?

 

[kimber1]

hmm i think i understand. only problem i see in that is one post i don't think would hold everything within each chapter ya know? i do need some help here though b/c this forum seems to go unnoticed a lot and wehn i had it originally in OBOB just in one thread there was a lot more participation

hey kimber,
i'm pretty sure it should fit, as the limit has since increased over the years that CF has been around. If all the text doesn't fit into the first post, then you can simply add the remainder to the 2nd post.

also, I believe we would get more participation this way, especially with the title of each article as the subject header.

 

[Rising_Suns]

hey kimber,
if you give me a moment, i can create a basic layout for you, using the table of contents...

 

[Rising_Suns]

Kimber, here's the table of contents. I put a red plus sign (+) next to each chapter that you would make a new thread for. For the first chapter of each section, just include the introductory paragraphs of that section as well. It's not as much work as it would have been for you before. Also, if anyone else has a better suggestion, please let us know. hope this helps!

okayi think i get what you're saying. give me a sec and i'll do a trial run thing and see if this is what you're tlaking about. bear with me

 

[kimber1]

okay question. that helped loads!! but should i just start all over in here or what?

 

[Rising_Suns]

okay question. that helped loads!! but should i just start all over in here or what?

I think it would be easier, and considering there's hardly any posts in here, it should be ok to do so. I'd double check first though.

 

[kimber1]

okay go look RS. did i title it right? i guess i could split the posts into it thatt have been made so far right?

 

[Rising_Suns]

hi kimber,
very good.

I would just change "part1 ,section1" into "p1,s1" to save more space for the title.

So instead of:

part1section1profession of faith/"I believe"-"We believe"chp1-man's capacity for God

It would be:

P1,S1,C1; "I believe-"We believe"; Man's Capacity for God.

then the next one would be:

P1,S1,C2; "I believe-"We believe"; God comes to meet man.

and so on....

Does this make sense? Does it look ok? I don't want to pressure you to do what I want, so please let me know what you think. Thanks kimber!

 

[kimber1]

no that's fine! it may take me till tomorrow to merge all the responses from the old one sto the new ones though one last question. do you think the articles should be broken up? or simply go by chapters?
