"reconciled" to the Catholic Church?

Was the decision of the Synod of Whitby really a reconciliation? Wouldn't that suggest that the Celtic Church had once been part of the Roman Catholic Church - which didn't really exist until the 4th century. The Celtic Church is anything was within the family of the Orthodox Churches and was crushed by Wilfrid and his Romanizers.

I agree. I think the word "subjected" would be better. Harry Stoteles 16:59, 20 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

"adoption"

Use of the word "adopted" is certainly better than the original "reconciled", however the word itself does suggest that the Celtic Church were willing participants in the change rather than the victims of a pre-meditated act of spiritual imperialism.

Synod of Whitby change

I changed the sentence about the Synod of Whitby to reflect the fact that the church did not adopt Roman ways but rather had the their adoption forced upon them by the Northumbrian king of the time. Velkyal (talk) 10:00, 3 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
