Tradução moderna em inglês
A synodal letter from the Third Council of Toledo [589], the landmark assembly at which the Visigothic king Reccared [r.586-601] formally renounced Arianism and led his people into Catholic Christianity, ending decades of religious division in the kingdom. The letter announces and explains the conversion to the broader Visigothic church, representing the decisive moment when the ruling class and their Germanic subjects joined the Hispano-Roman Catholic majority. The Third Council of Toledo transformed Visigothic Spain into a model of unified church-state governance that would influence Western Christianity for centuries.
