 What I see is a simple statement about faith and practice. And there is nothing wrong with explaining a point of view, as long as it is sourced  see WP:NPOV. NPOV is not a synonym for a neutral attitude, but a policy to give all significant opinions their proper emphasis. Further, while this is an improvement over your earlier decision to blank the whole section, removing both sentences now results with the section beginning with a non sequitor. ""Non-Christian"" does not mean pagan, but also includes the undeniable Judaic coloring of Ethiopian Orthodoxy  which is described at length in the rest of the article. And lastly, I am beginning to find your tone offensive; the points you have been objecting to are trivial & suggest to me that you are simply spoiling for a fight, not seeking to improve this article. (Otherwise you would have seen that your initial rant about ""accusations by Mussolini"" were irrelevant about the material you objected to.) If you can write a better section on the current practices of the Ethiopian Church  & provide reliable sources for it  please do so. My interest in this article is more on the historical side, which it is weak in  the article currently moves from the 7th century to the 16th, with hardly a mention of either Ewostatewos or Tekle Haymanot  & I'd rather work on that than arguing with you just so you can tell yourself you're ""correcting"" someone you wrongly accuse of not respecting this ancient culture of sub-Saharan Africa.
