Pope sends direct message to Ben

[DinoDoc]

Did you miss this part of the article you linked?

While the Supreme Pontiff does have to sign off on excommunications, Francis may not be as directly responsible for Reynolds’ dismissal as it might initially appear. Excommunication processes tend to take a long time, even years ...

Did you?

Do you?

Hey Benny, do you still like the pope??

Well, we can't flip a switch to make them inaudible while still letting us hear everything else, so they're arguably a bigger deal than BK.

[SlowwHand]

So now crickets are bad?

[Elok]

Sorry, but if find his errors, lies and misrepresentations so blatant and reprehensible I can't let them slip by.

Why? He'll just trot out new lies (or recycle the old ones with a thin coat of paint), and it's not like anybody here believes any of them. You might as well scream at the crickets to stop chirping.

Yeah, one of me, 17 of you. It happens when I go back and go through the posts.

I would have thought that a supposedly rabid anti-Catholic ex-grammar school blatant homosexual like me was fairly distinct by now.

Or is that how you view everyone who doesn't queue up to kiss the Pope's ringpiece ?

[molly bloom]

Molly's moved from arguing, "it's impossible" to, "not all of them were Catholic martyrs". .

I've done nothing of the sort. I've distinguished, using an example from Mary Tudor's reign, of the difference between the punishment for treason and the punishment for heresy.

I've listed in detail who was killed where- using separate sources. You simply plucked a number out of your arse and said 'it must be so' and gave no sources to back this up.

How very like you.

Some folks have a permanent hate-on.

You certainly do for facts and historical accuracy.


By the way, this is yet another example of you being unable to admit a mistake.

Molly admitted the Pilgrimage of Grace wasn't taught.

No I didn't. You're a liar.

I asserted that it wasn't taught. Ergo, I do have an understanding of the curriculum over there.

Deluded and wrong. You have no understanding of the current teaching of history in English schools, still less of how history was taught at my grammar school.

You are a fantasist.

[QUOTE] [I wouldn't expect schools to differ radically.../QUOTE]

Then you're a stupid ignorant fantasist to boot.

I would guess, based on what I know of the curriculum

Which is zilch.

[molly bloom]

Right, because we all know that an athiest has no bias towards Roman Catholicism.

(Suppresses massive yawn)

[molly bloom]

So not only does this put your statement to lie that such numbers were 'impossible', this is primary source evidence defending the figures.

No, it isn't, you moron.

Thanks to Harrison giving his sources, we see that, via astrologer Girolamo Cardano,the source is actually the Bishop of Lisieux.

Ho hum.

But if I also told you also that the claim by this bishop is often given as being 72,000 Catholics, and not “thieves and rogues”, you might get a sense of the bias bound up in this myth. Note also an Irish Republican who states that the figure has been “computed” in order to lend it extra weight.

From the same post, from the same source.


Liar, liar.... And I should point out I'd already provided evidence that this figure was simply unbelievable, in an earlier post- from a book by a writer specializing in the history of capital punishment and its effect on society.


Oh dear, perhaps you were confusing me with kentonio then. Or you found out the author was insufficiently Roman Catholic for your tastes.

Who cares....

[molly bloom]

Thank you. No further questions, Molly.

Yeah, sorry Sister Bendy of the eye and brain deficit, but kentonio and I are two distinctly separate and different people and posters. Not even our politics agree.


Stay off the communion wine, o.k. ?


HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAH AH

[molly bloom]

Oh, lookee that. Wikipedia citation after you claimed not to consult the wikipedia. Gosh. What else is Molly lying about?

Excuse me ? I haven't consulted or quoted Wikipedia. You're a lying sack of sh!t. Correction- that would have a use, either in fertilising fields or removing fibres from leather.

You might just have a use as a draught excluder if you kept your mouth shut.

[molly bloom]

FRAUD.

Oh dear. I really did feel the occasional twinge of pity for you- but latterly, if you were on fire I wouldn't let my cat piss on you.

And you don't even understand how I know this to be so!

Quite possibly, since I don't believe in the existence of telepathy or second sight or divination by checking goats' livers. There's a lot of pseudo-science and mumbo-jumbo I don't believe in.

[molly bloom]

It's a citation demonstrating that the claim has been made by Eamon Duffy.

No it isn't. Learn some English and learn how to comprehend that when a reviewer is quoting from a book or an author, they (if they're any good, that is) will in good faith indicate when and where they are doing so.

You're simply making excuses for making yet another of your mistakes.

I believe he had 75k executed because Eamon Duffy, whom I regard as a reliable historian and professor at Cambridge believes that this occurred.

So you still haven't read the book, just a review of the book. Figures. Still making excuses for your pathetic lack of knowledge.
