[edit] POV Tag

I added a POV tag. This reads like it is copied out of Catholic Encyclopedia or something similar. Consider a re-write that tones down the rhetoric some, Use "Nicene faith" rather than catholic when contrasting with Arian, etc. -- Pastordavid 17:51, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

I kind of agree as it fails to highlight the "civil war" between "Nicene faith" and Arianism in a neutral light. I was reading/fixing up Miro of Gallaecia and that article now says "Hermenegild (a recently convert to Catholicism) rebelled against his father, Leovigild (who like most Visigoths was an Arian Christian) and Miro gave Hermenegild support. In 583 though, Leovigild besieged and took Seville. Hermenegild was captured and executed and Miro was forced to make a pact with Leovigild and retreat.". Is that a fair writing ?. I guess I have to track down cites now. Ttiotsw 21:19, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
