And I agree with geor3ge, the rest of Pierce's analysis is sound, this minor problem doesn't really affect it.<br /><br />But still....<br /><br />Of course, I still haven't figured out how monsignors differ from bishops differ from archbishops differ from cardinals, or where prelates fit in. And don't get me started on Anglican vicars and priests and the other categories of clergy I've come across in British fiction. <br /><br />It all makes my head spin, at some point.Rmjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06811456254443706479noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9479398.post-32677018758083933762014-06-12T07:47:58.694-05:002014-06-12T07:47:58.694-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.alberichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03852752646926946626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9479398.post-6467083101532712642014-06-12T07:47:28.818-05:002014-06-12T07:47:28.818-05:00As my daughter always says immediately before or a...As my daughter always says immediately before or after she says something offensive: "no offense" ... but I cannot help but reading this post and thinking of the <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gb_qHP7VaZE" rel="nofollow">Judean People's Front</a><br /><br />Of course, my religion is indeed famously fractious: there is after all the old joke about the Jewish Robinson Crusoe who built on his desert island two shuls: "why two?" "I pray in one shul. The other, I wouldn't step foot in". Indeed my family and I walk past four synagogues on our walk to our synagogue, two other synagogues are more or less on our way (even if we don't walk directly in front of them on our usual route) and who knows how many shtibles (small, one-room synagogues, sometimes in people's homes) we pass.<br /><br />I guess from a Catholic's point of view, this is a bit confusing. But then again, I know various Catholics who don't necessarily go to the church in their home parish because they like the homilies the priest gives at one church or the music they tend to use at another church.<br /><br />So I guess it's human nature. Still, if you find yourself writing something like "a conservative evangelical wing of the United Church Of Christ", you should probably check your sources/reading materials to make sure you understood who's associated with whom a little better.alberichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03852752646926946626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9479398.post-5737455316469969172014-06-11T20:35:21.036-05:002014-06-11T20:35:21.036-05:00Mimi--

It was important enough to Charlie Pierce to make the mistake, after all. But, no, nothing is worth singing your privacy over to Facebook for. I won't even do that to spy on my nieces, though I tease them about the possibility of me asking for them to friend me in disguise. Their cousins blab everything, anyway.
