The Dominicans and Franciscans were instrumental in the establishment of a more formal doctrinal christianity across the West.  They also were Inquisitors sent out on fact finding missions and to educate the public.  This all came about in response to the rise (or discovery or re-discovery) of heresy in the Catholic lands.

As villagers/farmers were known to do weird things like worship a greyhound as a saint, there was a certain focus here...

Well, he reposted it ("Retruthed" it I guess, since it was on Truth Social.)  I'm not sure who actually made it.
In Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace—and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock

I still can't believe how spiritually uncurious Trumpers are.

It's like they never once consider that when they are receiving messages or prophecy from God, that there is another who likes to send humanity messages...

"Spiritually uncurious?"  :lol:

One value of Trumpism is that it has exposed evangelicals as the stupidest and most self delusional people on earth.

Dead certainty of reversal.  For reasons including, but not limited to, partisanship.

Sophie Scholl

Almost positive it will be overturned and, with the way this Court operates, Thomas will probably write the majority opinion.  :glare:

I thinking that the USSC will reverse, but on the basis of the presidency not being an office.  It's the only clean out they have.

What did she say?
I don't do meditation.  I drink alcohol to relax, like normal people.
