Not the smallest in the world...

[edit]

The Chapel of Monte Casino on the campus of Thomas More College in Kentucky is just 6 ft by 9 ft. Built by Benedictine Monks in 1878, and moved to Thomas More in 1965, it was officially recognized by the Catholic Church in 1971. http://www.thomasmore.edu/chapel/monte_casino.cfm 1.229.130.160 (talk) 09:11, 4 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

It merely says it is "believed to be the world's smallest consecrated church', not the smallest church.Matty.007 20:06, 4 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

"believed to be the world's smallest consecrated church"

[edit]

This is problematic for a couple reasons. Who believes it, who said it originally? There are many sources on the Internet all echoing the same phrase "believed to be the world's smallest consecrated church" but none give a reason or attribution for it being consecrated. The official chapel history page says nothing about being a consecrated church. The French Wikipedia says nothing about it. Someone claiming to be associated with the chapel posted my talk page asserting the chapel is not consecrated.[1] According to the official Catholic Church in Guernsey website, it is not listed,[2] nor recognized by the Catholic Church that I can find. It's difficult to prove a negative, but given all this counter-evidence to a weasel-word claim I believe it should be removed until a more reliable source is found that is not echoing the same "believed to be" which appears to originate with a 2012 travel article in the Daily Express tabloid.[3] -- GreenC 17:48, 5 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
