I remember a misleading article on early Christianity and vegetarianism.
The entire article sucked enough, but the mention of Clement of Alexandria simply said something like "Clement of Alexandria was a vegetarian "
The great scholar, who quoted more Greek philosophers (including hundreds we know only from his quotes and attributions ) than any other Greek writer, and most venerable of the Alexandrian Church Fathers, said something far and away more important than simply stating that he was a vegetarian.
He actually said that Christians were ( in their practical essence? ) all vegetarians.
Now the modern day Roman Catholics have serious concerns about this second century man for which they claim that too little is known about his life (plus he has been interpreted as believing Jesus had previous incarnations before he was born to Mary ), but that shouldn't be cause for immaculately describing his important observation.
Wikipedia has real problems in my opinion.
EDIT lol I see spell check made innacurAte into immaculate. Lol
