The article includes elements such as "church representative". To me this is a problem because I do not see the scientology corporation as a church, so the content is problematic; possibly for others too. By calling the scientology corporation a church, you lend credibility to the claim of it being a religion - for people without a confession this is problematic.
Ideally the article could be rewritten in a more objective, facts-first manner. I don't know what other terms could be used that are more neutral; the term "corporation" may also be problematic due to legal status of scientology in the USA. A more objective term may be "organization", since that does not imply as much as either "religion" (what the ...) or "church" or corporation.
You may wonder why I made this comment? Ideally wikipedia should be as neutral as possible, at all times, based on facts, with as little bias as possible. I do not like the scientology corporation and the sooner it is disbanded, the better - but I also dislike reading content that insinuates that there is a "church representative", since that would imply that scientology is a church/religion, which it clearly is not (at the least not to people outside of the USA; it is not recognized in Europe as religion, for instance, so it CAN NOT legally be called a "church" there). 2A02:8388:1641:8380:419C:5734:36D4:E382 (talk) 01:24, 20 December 2019 (UTC)
It's also worth noting that Rosita Šorytė, who is quoted in the Covid section, works for a Scientology front group (ORLIR, the International Observatory of Religious Liberty of Refugees), and the publishers of her book, FoRB.PRESS, are another Scientology front group, with the general mission of having Scientology recognized as a religion in Europe. Her apologia for Miscavige's Covid comments shouldn't be presented as a neutral source. 172.113.46.119 (talk) 00:04, 4 October 2021 (UTC)
Listen guys, as a long time resident of South Jersey and living across the River from good old Bristol, I can tell you its not 115 miles away from Philly. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:82:c380:5d40:8de7:e13d:e8fb:dc9f (talk) 02:06, 18 June 2020 (UTC)
As the highest ranking officer in the Sea Org, is there a reason why this is not mentioned in the lead? He is the ecclesiastical leader of Scientology in his position as Chairman of the Board RTC, which grants him ecclesiastical authority over all Scientologists, both public, civilian staff, and Sea Org, but at the same time he is also the Captain of the Sea Org, which gives him absolute authority over the Sea Org command structure and all Sea Org orgs. Was this discussed at all previously? Laval (talk) 08:32, 9 November 2020 (UTC)
