Data bug: religious order = denomination????

Okay, this is funny ... the founder of a religious order is labeled as the founder of a denomination. Wow are there a lots of Catholic denominations Stick out tongue From Wikipedia: "The 2012 Annuario Pontificio, which devotes 19 pages to this information on Latin-Rite "orders" for men, gives 35 pages to Latin-Rite "congregations" for men, 7 to Eastern "orders, religious congregations and societies of apostolic life" for men, and 198 pages to more concise information on religious institutes for women."

I've reported this. Initial thoughts are that we get the data from Freebase, I'm not sure what sort of control we have over that. Someone more knowledgeable will look into it. [:)]

This is also our internal data (which may have been derived from Freebase): you can see it in Factbook (logos4:Factbook;ref=bio.AngelaMerici). Probably we didn't give the curator collecting this data quite enough nuance about denominations vs orders: i'll add a case for it.
