<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->viz. that the Goths were Aryans, is obviously a misreading
of the well-known fact that many of them were "Arians", i.e. followers of the
Christian "heretic" Arius. He taught a strict monotheism in which Jesus was only
an outstanding human being, not God's son and incarnation. A kind of Islam
without Mohammed, as it were. Arius was murdered during a Church Council, and
his followers were defeated by the Frankish king Clovis and other Trinitarian
(God as father, Son and Holy Ghost) Catholics.
Best of luck,
