| | Andy, you seem to have doubts about the reality of the Gunpowder Plot. If you visit England, I strongly recommend a visit to Coughton Court, near Alcester, Warwickshire, the ancestral home of the Throckmorton family. The Throckmortons were one of several Catholic noble families in the Midlands who refused to convert to the Protestant religion and were connected by marriage or business to all the Gunpowder Plotters except Fawkes. There's an excellent little exhibition there about the Gunpowder Plot and the role in it of the closely-connected Catholic noble familes of Worcestershire, Warwickshire and Northamptonshire. There are other fascinating features, such as several priest holes, a Catholic altar concealed in an item of furniture and a tapestry incorporating a secret code to show the location of Catholic priests in the Midlands.

| | + | Is that really so mysterious? It seems obvious that He'd use whatever language His listeners best understood, and in first-century Palestine that would be Aramaic most of the time, with maybe occasional Hebrew, Greek, and Latin. I for one was (and remain) unaware of any significant controversy over this. [[User:Tattersalt|Tattersalt]] 18:18, 8 May 2009 (EDT) |
