I would say more of the latter.

Tennyson has taken the information from wikipedia (see the source of the image and also check Saint Maurice - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia), and where he says:

That is to say that he was elevated to the altars a few hundred years before even being depited as a Black man.

What little is know of St. Maurice is that he was a Coptic Egyptian. I wonder why then Tennyson does not accuse of the same to Protestants for venerating a Middle Eastern Anatolian, such as was St. Nicholas (aka Santa Klaus: Saint Nicholas - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia).

Except for those of us who reject such things as ecumenism (with the exception of an approach of the Eastern and Western Churches), as multiculturalism.

I refuse to get identified with sects who use the fallacy and the defamation as a model of proselitism.

I'll look forward to what Plethon and you have to say in the matter.
