Is the title appropriate? After all, there is more than one Bishop of Quebec. For example, see [1]. Perhaps Catholic Bishops of QuebecorBishops of Quebec (Catholic) - Cafemusique 21:56 26 Jun 2003 (UTC)
Shouldn't we label which ones are archibishops? Or state in the intro that starting from which-th is the archibishop? (Not the 1st 6 for sure). ---Menchi 20:51 27 Jun 2003 (UTC)
Two problems with the title:
1) it should not be capitalized; 2) all the archbishops are also bishops (for example, the list at Diocese de Montreal lists a particular one as "third bishop and first archbishop").
I had moved this to List of Roman Catholic bishops of Quebec, and likewise for the Montreal list, but efghij moved them back. May I ask why? - Montréalais
Titles are only capitalized when referring to a specific individual, or when placed before a name. So you say "the Queen" (meaning E2R), or "Queen Elizabeth," or "Queens Elizabeth and Mary." But you say "the kings and queens of France." So it should be "the bishops of Quebec," even if the current one is "the Archbishop of Quebec." And I don't think it's counterintuitive to include archbishops in a list of bishops, since the archbishops are bishops and are numbered in order beginning with the first bishop. - Montréalais
You are wrong, Montrealais. Specific titles are also capitalised, eg President of the United States, British Prime Minister. If you are talking about bishops generically, it is lowercased, as in president, king, pope, etc. If you are talking about a specific title, Archbishop of Canterbury, Archbishop of Armagh, Bishop of Quebec, President of Ireland, King of Spain, etc. If you are using the title in the plural, you keep it capitalised because you are still talking about a specific title, not bishops generically. Thus "kings and queens of France" is wrong. If you are writing about monarchs generically they are lowercased. But a specific title of a specific monarch or set of monarchs, it is capitalised, as King of France and Queen of France are specific titles, not generic ones. FearÉIREANN 23:18 20 Jul 2003 (UTC)
I believe the claim of this See being the oldest in North America is factually incorrect. That honor belongs to the Archdiocese of Puebla de los Angeles, Puebla, Mexico, which was founded as the Diocese of Tlaxcala in 1525. - Gentgeen 7 Oct 2003
I just edited in Coadjutors, Auxiliaries, and other priests of this diocese who became bishops. The following looks correctly-formatted but is not displaying properly; please help. Carlm0404 (talk) 03:04, 14 October 2019 (UTC)Reply

Fixed on Nov. 25. What should have been a right parenthesis was mistakenly a right brace. OK, I will have to go next to the infobox and check its information.
