orthography - When should we write the word "church" with a capital C?




When should we write the word "church" with a capital C, Church, and when should we only write it as church?


Answer




Sorry to leave this as an answer, but my rep isn't high enough yet to comment.



Piggybacking off of @sumelic's comment in the original post, I would say any time you want to highlight the organization of a certain church (and the full weight that its name carries), I would capitalize it.



For example, in this article here.



To give my own example sentence, I would say, "The Catholic Church has been known to blah blah blah, but the Church as it stands nowadays blah blah blah."



Does this help?
