Talk:Arialdo

POV tag
I tagged this not because I want to defend corruption in the medieval church, but because the way we present the story is very one-sided. We refer, for instance, to ‘immoral clergy’. It seems to me that in an encyclopedia it’s better for the authors to step back a little and adopt a more serious historical/anthropological stance. There were social practices: they were both practised and opposed. The story is as much about social history as about sanctity: struggles in the church at this time were frequently as much to with secular politics as anything else. Arialdo was sainted, instantly, by a friend. (You could call that corrupt!) —Ian Spackman 22:26, 6 August 2007 (UTC)

Well said, Ian. I only want to comment that a thousand years have passed since the martyrdom of this rather obscure saint, yet the whole thing still provokes enough controversy to have its own talk page on Wikipedia. And by the way, August 6 is my birthday. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.4.238.199 (talk) 03:53, 4 May 2008 (UTC)


 * I've tried to make the wording more NPOV without misrepresenting the sources. More sources and better wording are welcome, but I think it's OK for now and will remove the NPOV-tag. I'm not a native speaker, so if something sounds funny please do change it, I won't mind.--Six words (talk) 16:51, 31 August 2010 (UTC)
