Other names (Greek, Russian, etc)
: After research, they are indeed epithets. See [http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=epithet Dictionary.com for ''epithet'']. In addition to the example of "The Great Emancipator" as an epithet for President Lincoln, see also [http://www.press.uchicago.edu/Misc/Chicago/cmosfaq/cmosfaq.CapitalizationTitles.html#qa100 Chicago Manual of Style - Q & A - Capitalization, Titles]. The CMOS also prefers not to capitalize nouns like ''pope'' unless being used as a title (i.e., with a name): ''Pope Benign XXI''. That's earlier on that same page. --[[User:Basil|Basil]] 23:34, 15 Jan 2005 (CST)
 
== Other names (Greek, Russian, etc) ==
 
:''(especially in the contemporary West) as the Eastern Orthodox Church or the Greek Orthodox Church''
In terms of giving examples of other (overly limited) names to the Orthodox Church, shouldn't ''Russian Orthodox Church'' be included here? --[[User:Dpr|Dpr]] 23:38, 12 Oct 2005 (EDT)
