Oppose, they are completely different terms. While Catholicism is most commonly associated with the faith and practices of the Catholic Church led by the Pope in Rome, the traits of Catholicity, and thus the term Catholic, are also claimed and possessed by other denominations such as the Eastern Orthodox Church, the Oriental Orthodox Church, the Assyrian Church of the East. It also occurs in Lutheranism, Anglicanism, as well as Independent Catholicism and other Christian denominations. This text isn't invented by myself, I've merely copied it from the
Catholicity article which I haven't personally edited. In my own words: Catholicism is a religious movement (with the
Catholic Church as its best known formal organization), while Catholicity is a claim by multiple religious movements.

I have not seen the Eastern Orthodox Church, the Oriental Orthodox Church, the Assyrian Church of the East, Lutheranism or broad Anglicanism. Thee is just one particular part of Anglicanism that quite strongly identifies with Catholicism (not Catholicity).

I had noticed
Category:Independent Catholic denominations indeed. The reason I did not explicitly mentioned this category was that I suspected (perhaps wrongly) that it is entirely obvious that independent Catholic denominations belong to Catholicism, perhaps even more obvious than Anglo-Catholicism belongs to Catholicism. Regrettably there is no article about Catholicism, but that is not a reason to set Catholicism equal to the Catholic Church, nor is it a reason to set Catholicism equal to Catholicity. I can't see a reason for starting a new set
Category:Catholicity either, because it would contain most Christian churches and would hence largely overlap with
Category:Christian denominational families. 'Even' reformed churches sometimes claim catholicity, see e.g.
Reformed Catholic confessing (in Dutch).

Oppose. These are not the same thing. Catholicity is a term used by just about any Christian faith. Catholicism specifically described a branch of Christianity, which is not synonymous either with the Catholic Church as it encompasses movements that detached from or joined the Church over time while keeping their Catholic character: Old Catholics, Independent Catholics, Gallicans, traditionalists, Anglo-Catholics etc., with a special place for Eastern Catholics which are in communion with the Catholic Church but not Roman Catholics. also, it was not very wise not to provide a
link to the recent discussion on the same category.

Propose retaining — I have now translated a main article for this category from the equivalent Esperanto-language page, Laborista Esperanto-movado, hoping to satisfy the criterion of
RevelationDirect, above. The Esperanto workers movement can be seen as a Venn diagram in the intersection of the Esperanto movement and of the international labour movement —

While I agree that the original rationale no longer applies there are still two issues left. The four biographies should still be purged. And after purging the category becomes so small that the new article may better be moved to
Category:Esperanto movement and the category may be deleted after all.
