Understood. Altho I thought we do se...Kaor, Paul!<br /><br />Understood. Altho I thought we do see these monks in DIES THE FIRE and THE PROTECTOR'S WAR. These were Catholics who refused to accept the schism caused by Norman Arminger's puppet anti-pope, "Leo XIV."<br /><br />SeanSean M.

I basically agree with what you said ...Kaor, Paul!<br /><br />I basically agree with what you said about "traditions" shaping philosophies and religions. After all, we Catholics believe Sacred Tradition played a role in defining Catholic teachings. But many Protestants like the gentleman you mentioned have an incorrect view of "tradition." They think "tradition" means only the arid legalism of the Pharisees condemned by Christ.<br /><br />Btw, I've wondered why you had not yet discussed the Benedictine monastery located at Mt. Angel. Because of the Change, those monks thought it necessary to take on military functions. They became a military branch of the Benedictines. Iow, they reminded me of the Knights Hospitallers we see in Poul Anderson's ROGUE SWORD.<br /><br />SeanSean M. Brookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13973738112230622557noreply@blogger.com
