Nailit is a riddler inn-he?

[jackthehat]

Does that mean that we're wrong......for being right?!?

[THECORBYLOON]

Do you mean you're not being idolized or do you mean you don't understand why someone else is being idolized?

If it's the latter, who is the person being idolized?

[Peter Pedant]

this all happened in 1916 when there was a demand for a service for the fallen troops - up to half a million by then

and the Anglican hierarchy said - nope - roman crap - er Smells and Bells typical of the schismatic Bishop of Rome and his adherents

so doo-dah of toch-H devised a service of carols and readings, which angered the anglican bishops ( no worship of the dead etc) but immediately caught on. Soon everyone was doing it.
The Archbish said sulkily - "o god dammit, OK then....but only under protest etc" - - - you know "the whole point of a hierarchy is I tell you . Not - you tell me"

[Peter Pedant]

No he means worshipping a dead person as a god

see above for differences in funerary practice of the Churches of England and Rome
RC do the lardy dah, singy singy ting a ling without a second thought - Proddies have to look glum and po-faced

The Archbishop ( Justin Welby DD for it was he) was bearded on the subject of the prayers for the queen on the day of her death and commented

Its my service and I'll pray if I want to
