Pope sends direct message to Ben

[Ben Kenobi]

So when he says there is no aces in a Rook deck he's right. Your insisting that there is, is wrong by your own definition. "like aces" is not the same.
Just give it up.

Is my stance too broad, Mr Wayne?

[rah]

I'd rather you actually explain how he was wrong.

[Ben Kenobi]

I'm still trying to figure out how you think Ming is totally wrong.

He's an American teaching an Englishman Cricket.

[Ben Kenobi]

This is hilarious.

Yes, it is, especially since it's word for word what has already been said in this thread by others.

[kentonio]

I'm sorry Molly. They were all revolutionaries. They should have obeyed their Lord and rightful Queen Mary and then they wouldn't be executed. After all, that's what Christ commands.

This is hilarious. You are very stupid.

[rah]

Rook uses colored cards numbers 1-14. Red, Yellow/Orange, Green and Black. With 1s high like aces. Once again, Ming is totally wrong here.

You are unbelievable. If you know that Rook used colored cards numbers 1-14 then why did you say Aces in your example? You use a rook reference using aces and you wonder why I thought it was obscure.
And I'm still trying to figure out how you think Ming is totally wrong.

He said

Yes, AS I NOTED, you can use a regular deck..

So when he says there is no aces in a Rook deck he's right. Your insisting that there is, is wrong by your own definition. "like aces" is not the same.
Just give it up.

[Ben Kenobi]

Address the facts.

What facts? Both were educated at Oxford - an Anglican institution, and both were reverends.

If I wanted to know about what the Anglicans of today thought about these matters then yes, they are reliable sources. However, they are extremely hostile sources to Catholicism in general. I couldn't rely on them for any factual statements because of persistant and concrete bias.

Are you willing to permit Catholic martyrologies as neutral sources?

[Ben Kenobi]

You are conscious of the fact that Chadwick is reviewing a book on a Catholic Pope by Cornwell ? And that he's quite critical of it ?

He's a reverend of the COE. That makes him a ridiculously hostile source on this issue. Find a reliable secondary source.

Are you going to permit citations of Catholic priest martyrologies as neutral?

I started when I was two and a half, so I've read a very great many.

English books? I'm surprised you weren't reading Old Latin.

[molly bloom]

You've got two COE Reverends and the most moderate is a communist.

I suggest you find some reliable unbiased sources Molly. Preferably a primary source written sometime before JFK's assassination might be helpful.

Address the facts.

I know this would be unusual and completely out of character for you, but do try.


Just once.

[Ben Kenobi]

The operative word here is "LIKE". In rook, there are no aces, just cards numbered 1 - 14 and a rook card. Once again, you are just making **** up.

As opposed to someone who's never played the game before. Yeah, I think I'll side with me.

you just make **** up to avoid admitting you made yet another mistake.

Play the game, and get back to me.

[molly bloom]

Chadwick's a reverend from the COE and here's what he has to say about Pius XII

Interesting.

Oh, look. Here's a Tablet article.

Yeah, this man is totally a neutral source on Catholicism. One down.

Or perhaps a quick google search didn't tell you that. Y

ou should try reading a book or two. I started when I was two and a half, so I've read a very great many.

[Ben Kenobi]

So you haven't read the book and didn't know the figures.

You've got two COE Reverends and the most moderate is a communist.

I suggest you find some reliable unbiased sources Molly. Preferably a primary source written sometime before JFK's assassination might be helpful.

[Ben Kenobi]

According to Davies, the Tudor name was deliberately played down, because it was an embarrassment in England; Henry VIII would rather boast of the “Union”, of the families of Lancaster and York, which he embodied through his mother.

From your pal here, CSL. Odd that, he's arguing the same thing I am. Henry stressed continuity.

Oh gosh, Wiki doesn't say anything about him - but it has his wife.

Socialist, Trotskyite. Was too red for Labor!

Yet another widely unbiased source on Catholicism, indeed.

[Ming]

Rook uses colored cards numbers 1-14. Red, Yellow/Orange, Green and Black. With 1s high like aces. Once again, Ming is totally wrong here.

The operative word here is "LIKE". In rook, there are no aces, just cards numbered 1 - 14 and a rook card. Once again, you are just making **** up.
If you use a standard deck, the ace is USED as the one card... but in the the actual game of rook, with a real rook deck, there are NO ACES!

So like usual, you are wrong on something you claim knowledge of.
I'm not sure which is sadder... that fact that you don't even understand the topics you bring up yet claim expertise in, or the fact that you just make **** up to avoid admitting you made yet another mistake.

Super!

I suppose I could respond by saying you are supposed to have a history degree (all evidence to the contrary), but guess what ? Chadwick taught history at Cambridge University from 1947. Became Regius Professor of Modern History and Master of Selwyn College. He worked on the history of Christian ideas and of the development of the Church in England since the Reformation.

Wrote books on John Cassian, the Oxford Movement and the Victorian Church.


You drove a pizza van and are a Catholic bigot who gets ridiculously easy historical facts wrong.


He wins.
