I've read that "heresy" comes from words meaning 'to cut' or else to 'seize or take away' Cannoli Send a noteboard - 12/12/2017 03:56:19 PM

I've never been quite sure about the etymology, and felt both writers' motivations for using those translations to be suspect, but I did have some fun with mock-theological misogyny by pointing out that the letter origin could be paraphrased with the word 'snatch.'

That’s a much better song too *NM* Tom - 10/12/2017 02:05:04 PM 443 Views
That was just so he could murder all their sons and prove he is awesome. random thoughts - 11/12/2017 09:24:16 PM 671 Views
Never heard that one. The Trainspotting song “Temptation” is much better (Crowded House sucks) *NM* Tom - 10/12/2017 02:02:37 PM 403 Views

Does it have to be fire? I do not like the smell of burnt human flesh. Is it okay with the council Roland00 - 09/12/2017 11:55:31 PM 558 Views
Only fire can purify the stain of heresy. *NM* damookster - 10/12/2017 01:21:58 AM 455 Views
We have to burn you for blasphemy by comparing Francis to Christ Tom - 10/12/2017 02:04:04 PM 590 Views
I just find this deeply ironic that is all *NM* Roland00 - 10/12/2017 08:35:26 PM 385 Views
I'll search for an Italian transcript later, but... Larry - 10/12/2017 03:10:06 PM 798 Views
It's not subjunctive per se. It's a negative imperative, damnit. Tom - 11/12/2017 02:11:53 AM 611 Views

It's because it's *not* a translation issue, and Francis is deceiving the faithful. Tom - 11/12/2017 05:46:27 AM 571 Views
And what the fuck is wrong with this website? I didn't indent numbers and I used 1, 2, 3, 4 Tom - 11/12/2017 05:47:42 AM 702 Views
Incidentally, the numbers showed up accurately in my response while quoting, so who knows? *NM* TyrReborn - 11/12/2017 07:12:44 AM 416 Views
For the record, I'm not saying you're wrong... TyrReborn - 11/12/2017 07:11:59 AM 597 Views
You know, now that I think about it, Job isn't a good reference. TyrReborn - 11/12/2017 07:21:13 AM 718 Views
Tom is correct, but let me make the argument that the Pope is right Roland00 - 11/12/2017 08:49:35 PM 911 Views
If it is not a translation problem (and it isn't), then the Pope is changing the words of Christ Tom - 12/12/2017 03:43:50 PM 589 Views

The vicar of Christ doesn't get to change the words of Christ. damookster - 11/12/2017 08:12:22 AM 688 Views
Fair enough. *NM* TyrReborn - 11/12/2017 05:44:46 PM 359 Views

The Pope is only infallible in certain situations. TyrReborn - 11/12/2017 10:40:28 PM 610 Views

Yes, and thankfully he wasn't making a proclamation ex cathedra. Tom - 12/12/2017 01:09:25 AM 612 Views
I mean...I love me some theology... Jeordam - 11/12/2017 10:56:34 PM 680 Views
The problem is that I don't think he was thinking at all Tom - 13/12/2017 06:22:14 PM 554 Views

Can't you just depose him. The Shrike - 13/12/2017 05:49:59 PM 573 Views
I could, but where's the fun in that? Tom - 13/12/2017 06:20:18 PM 667 Views
Because he would have to live with being deposed. The Shrike - 13/12/2017 07:05:35 PM 583 Views

How about we just send him to Avignon. The Shrike - 13/12/2017 11:31:25 PM 630 Views
If we send him in a soundproof box so all he can do is waive endlessly, sure! Tom - 14/12/2017 12:32:04 AM 639 Views
Schrodinger's Pope(s)? *NM* Roland00 - 15/12/2017 10:01:35 PM 344 Views
That would be fun. No one would know if he's alive or dead. *NM* Tom - 16/12/2017 03:50:13 AM 334 Views
Waive endlessly? Larry - 18/12/2017 03:06:39 AM 751 Views
It's the consequence of writing this in between contract revisions Tom - 18/12/2017 02:52:15 PM 803 Views
I've had that happen before, minus the contract legalese Larry - 20/12/2017 03:43:50 AM 612 Views
