Quote:Paullus Scipio, I would hardly say that the Arian Controversy was resolved at Nicaea. As you say, it went on for another couple of hundred years. It was especially noted among the Goths who, when converted to Christianity, were converted to Arian Christianity....you are quite right, Hugh.....I should have written 'ostensibly resolved', or 'officially' resolved.
