Disputatio:Paganismus

message: I inserted the real historical origin of the word. Going back to Indo-European is misleading: the origin of this term is purely Latin.
I notice the first paragraph is translated from English. I haven't seen the Latin word "paganismus" used in all these senses, so I think we need sources on that. Lewis & Short gives only one citation, in which the word seems to have approximately its etymological sense (religions of the Roman countryside).

replies: text: I added the reference to Augustine without reading your whole comment. Here's the Augustine quotation. I think here, given the Biblical referencs, it refers to more than just Roman paganism:
replies: text: :Si Dominus dimittendae coniugis solam causam fornicationis admittit, et paganum coniugium dimitti non prohibet, consequens est ut paganismus fornicatio deputetur. Solam autem fornicationis causam exceptam facere Dominum, cum de dimittenda coniuge loquitur in Evangelio, manifestum est.

Thank you, I couldn't have asked for better :) That being the case, we then have to decide what this article is about. I feel there is a topic, wanting a Vicipaedia article, something like "survivals of pre-Christian religions in Christian Europe". That seems to be what the German article is about, and quite a lot of the English article too, once you read beyond its ecumenical introduction. The use of "paganismus" was originally pejorative in this particular sense: see Peter Brown quoted in the English article. He regards "paganism" as a local POV synonym for "polytheism", which makes sense historically. But that's long ago, and we can surely treat it as non-POV now.
