Possible (slight) reorganization

I think it might make sense to restructure some of the content so that the disputes between the "Catholics" and Orthodox comes first, because, more or less, that is a better reflection of the history of the subject. At least placing them in historical order would probably be preferable. Also, I think we probably should mention in a bit more detail the attempts by these churches to inhibit each other. The disputes between the Oriental Orthodox/Coptic Orthodox Church and the Constantian "Catholic" church is one which led to the deaths of several people, and Athanasius of Alexandria being exiled repeatedly. Also, the battles among the Catholics and Arian Visigoth churches probably deserves significant mention, as do the suppressions of other early Christian groups which have often since been discontinued.

P.S.: If there are any sources which indicate that several of these incidents of violence have been motivated largely or primarily for concerns other than the obvious religious ones, such as, for instance, political or other broader social divisions which were also reflected in a religious division, that would probably be very relevant to include in the lead as well.

This article is in desperate need of a real lead but I haven't figured out what it should say yet.

The reorganization you suggest is probably OK for now. I think we will have to revisit this issue as we flesh out the article.

As for the various disputes you mention, I don't know much about them so please feel free to add these. My problem with "suppressions of other early Christian groups" is I haven't been able to find reliable sources that describe the violence. If you know of any, please add them to the article.

I know we have several categories for martyrs of some of the early "vanished" groups, like Arians, and I think that some of the histories of, for instance, the Donatists and others, mention violence of some sort, I think generally on both sides. I can try to find some sourcing for them. I wouldn't necessarily want to lay too much emphasis on each of them, because some might have been fairly minor or localized, but inclusion of the major ones is probably warranted.
