It seems Pope Francis needs to brush up on his Tertullian!

It has been reported (in The ChristLast Media, I must note) that the current Pope does not like the phrase "lead us not into temptation...

Blog of the Day.

The Flight of the Butterfly, by a fabulous blogger babe named Madame Butterfly.

And if you think I am putting up a permanent link to her blog just because she visited mine, take a gander at this, kiddies:


St. Thomas Becket

BBC released their 2005 edition of the 10 "Worst Historical Britons" on December 27. Sadly, St. Thomas Becket was named the worst of the years spanning 1100-1200. He was aligned with such infamous villans as Jack the Ripper who may be responsible for the murder of about 200 people.

"The "greedy" Thomas Becket, Archbishop of Canterbury, was nominated by Professor John Hudson, of St Andrews University, as the 12th century's worst villain.

"He divided England in a way that even many churchmen who shared some of his views thought unnecessary and self-indulgent," he said."He was a founder of gesture politics."Those who share my prejudice against Becket may consider his assassination in Canterbury Cathedral on 29 December, 1170, a fittingly grisly end." "

May God have mercy on Professor Hudson's black, bloody soul.

The English schismatics have always been among the most ignorant and bloodthirsty enemies of The Church. (See Edmund Campion here.) Rebellion against God is the ultimate Death.

I thought there might be some consternation at Becket's choice! The word 'fittingly' seems extraordinary, though I wouldn't quite go as far as you have.

The worst choice for me was the Ripper, as we don't know who he (or she, or they) was, how many he killed (the usual guess is 5, very convincing arguments have been made for 3 and none at all for that matter, I don't have any idea where that 200 figure came from and it's way off the scale of academic guesses) or, most obviously, whether he was actually British (a number of leading suspects weren't). I can't think someone that ambiguous should be included.

First of all, the word is SEX, not GENDER. If you are ever tempted to use the word GENDER, don't. The word is SEX! SEX! SEX! SEX! For example: "My sex is male." is correct. "My gender is male." means nothing. Look it up. What kind of sick neo-Puritan nonsense is this? Idiot left-fascists, get your blood-soaked paws off the English language. Hence I am choosing "male" under protest.
