Controversy

[edit]

Edits were done to this page that reflect information that is not published. There is no source for the claims about how EOTC members interpret the disputed word as interchangeable with another word. It does not appear in Yirga's article. Please find a separate published source for this and provide it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by ReadWrite222 (talkcontribs) 22:54, 30 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Timeframe faulty?

[edit]

The timeframe gives 1612 as the year of Susenyo's conversion, and 1617 as year for a first campaign to suppress a anti-Catholic rebellion, and 1621 him forbidding the teaching of Ethiopian orthodoxy. In literature I only see his public conversion in 1622, so there was hardly a reason for anti-Catholic measures and rebellion before that date.
