Metropolitan Archdiocese of Anchorage was renamed as Metropolitan Archdiocese of Anchorage–Juneau

Archdiocese of Anchorage was merged with Diocese of Juneau to create the Archdiocese of Anchorage-Juneau. Dcheney (talk) 11:33, 19 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Here is the archived link from the bolletino of the Holy See A new bishop was also named, the former bishop of Juneau and apostolic administrator of Anchorage after the departure of Archbishop Etienne for Seattle.Johnnygoesmarchinghome (talk) 12:36, 19 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I've updated the article Martin m159 (talk) 14:18, 19 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

- - - - Update 20 September 2020:

The above information is not accurate. Rather, Pope Francis canonically suppressed the former Metropolitan Archdiocese of Anchorage and the former Diocese of Juneau and simultaneously erected a new metropolitan archdiocese, named the Archdiocese of Anchorage-Juneau, effective 17 September 2020. The Papal Nuncio to the United States read an official English translation of the decree at the Mass of Installation of Archbishop-Elect Andrew E. Bellesario as the first archbishop of the new particular church. I have not found the decree on line as yet, but a video of the mass of installation is currently available on the web sites of both the former Archdiocese of Anchorage and the former Diocese of Juneau.

The last paragraph of a Q&A about the transition also available on both of these web sites, written by Fr. Pat Travers, formerly of the Diocese of Juneau and now Vicar General of the Archdiocese of Anchorage-Juneau, states the following.

The existing diocesan newspapers and websites will almost certainly be discontinued and new ones established for the new archdiocese. The same will be true of the coats of arms, seals, “logos,” stationery, and other symbols of the existing dioceses. In order to emphasize that a new particular Church of Southern Alaska has come into being, these kinds of changes are very necessary.

Note, also, that the merger actually took effect with the Mass of Installation on 17 September of this year.

But I hesitate to link these sources in the main article because they undoubtedly will disappear in the near future.

It is fine to link those sources, because they can be archived for future reference. The trouble I have is that so many primary sources are made and you're making an analysis of them for the article. That is not what we do on Wikipedia. We use reliable secondary sources which do the analysis for us. Too much reliance on primary sources is dangerous to the verifiability of information.
