`  == Persecution by Christians== I have to say, this section has become very corrupted.  Let me just point to some problems.  It has no citations.  It introduces denominationalism, which is totally anachronistic in this passage, and it a ecclesiological pov that should be stricken from the section.  The inquisition and witch hunts are complex events over generalized here.  There is a difference between a mob sweeping through the streets, a government backed suppression of heresy, and a legal trial for someone accused of a crime.  It is not much of a model to work with.  I will try and work a temporary fix to at least remove the over generalities and anachronisms to some extent.   :Str seems to disagree with your change /.   ::The ``dissenting denominations`` bit was supposed to cover both supression/persecution of heresies (and alleged ones, see Constantius) as well of the later denominations (that are basically successfull heresies) - the heresy bit got dropped somewhere, probably because of NPOV concerns. I will see what LC is coming up with and get back to this later. But I am hopeful.    :::Guys let me say that I did not mean to step into anything controversial here, and I think, considering the matter above, that further controversies should be avoided.  I though that this section would soon get more attention (as per discussion above), and I wanted to help a little in some preparatory work.  My point is that denominationalsim does not really describe either the persecutions of antiquity, or the wars which took on religious overtones such as the Schmalkaldic League wars, since none of these groups saw themselves as denominations or understood Christianity in denominationalist terms.  But if this is going to be controversial I will step back and bring all this up at a time when we can focus energy there.  Sorry if this has been a problem.    :::::No need to worry, LC. The one bit I would (and did) restore was the ``denominational`` in strife, as it pertains to that later historical period where we can safely speak of ``denominations`` and it was the conflict between them, apart of course from ulterior motives, that lead to wars.   `
