At heart, he is a real softie and he can be very knowledgeable in many areas of French life as he has been here for as long as Methuselah. I am glad you decided to join the forum.  I love having new and interesting people post, particularly as the forum has been somewhat quiet lately. Methuselah never visited France!!!  You want to fight about that??  Do you? Do you?  ..... You looking at my pint?... are you?  are you????  go on then! go on...!!!##     See my point...   Hey... Lets all sleep in the same room tonight, on the floor in front of the fire....  lets tell ghost stories... Lets JUST BE NICE When one man suffers delusion it is called insanity, when a group of men suffer delusion it is called religeon.    Report

Look at History, they are always on the wrong side and full oçf kaka. Well almost. By the way, how can you drink that wishy washy beer? You a man or Welsh or just a little ....

He is very well known here in France.  I have a great interest in religeon.  Tell me what you think of the concept of 'ex cathedra'.  I always struggle with this, in particular when thinking of Innocent 3rd.  Maybe we should chat about it on PM.  I am sure others on this thread would be bored by the whole infalability thing.

Still no luck.  I am not a priest but I did grow up in a very very catholic family.  I have learned much about religeon and although no scholar (check the spelling!!) do know a little.  It is why I immeadiatley thought your reference was to Noah's dad.  Even now and with due respect to wolly I suggest that reference is to the person of whom I speak. Maybe if there is a thread on religeon I will contribute but to continue it here would kind of defeat my first post on this thread.   Again.. sorry to all about my spelling When one man suffers delusion it is called insanity, when a group of men suffer delusion it is called religeon.    Report
