Qing_Jao, I will agree with you. Most of Christianity, it is believed, evolved from Catholicism, which was the first Christian religion. The Catholic Church was meant to be a universal church, one for everyone. (in fact Catholic itself means universal in Greek). Over time, and for the most part just...

I don't hate Winnipeg, but it's growing on me. People tend to have a love/hate relationship with it. Haha, thats the way it is with Lethbridge. People love it because its such a laid back, slower and very beautifully spread out city. But people hate it for the same reasons plus the incredibly stron...

In EG Peter was said to be charming. The kind of person that everyone loves. But his description in Shadow Puppets on the other hand made it seem that he was mean and off-putting. Like he looked down upon the hired help, which although he might have, the Peter described in EG wouldnever have done t...

Children of the Mind, probably because it has Peter in it, seemed a lot like the Shadow books. Perhaps that is why i liked CotM so much, because it was like the Shadow Series. But im not sure, so i think im going to read CotM again. I just finished reading SotG, so it'll be good contrast. Thanks fo...

Dear You. I Miss you soo much right now. And even though its only been a day since youve been gone, and even though you'll be back tomorrow, i still hate that you're gone at all. We've lived together for a month and a half now and just as im starting to become accustomed to this town, to this house,...

Also, it wasn't just the divorce, it was that the pope was meddling in international affairs, and was grossly biased, favoring the spanish (the pope had familial and other ties to Henry's wife's family). Thanks for mentioning that. I was stating the most obvious, but yes that was a big reason. The ...

Well, one thing that IS known is that the Anglican Chuch(Church of England) Began when King Henry VIII rebelled against the Pope, and therefore the Catholic Church because the Pope would not grant him an annulment so he could marry another woman. He created his own church and designated his own Pope...

A similar occurence happened a few weeks ago in Montreal Canada, details of which can be found HERE . This kind of behaviour is shocking as we are seeing school shootings moving away from the students themselves committing acts of violence, but ordinary citizens off the street barging into a school....

The Road to Gandolfo by Robert Ludlum is an interesting turn from his usual work. In this, the author of The Bourne Supremacy takes the reader on the hilarious journey of a discharged US Army Brigadier and a former JAG lawyer as they conspire to kidnap the Pope and put his cousin on the throne. I l...

Empire
Has anyone heard of OSC's newest book, Empire? It looks really good. The idea that civil war can erupt in a country like the United States seems like a far off idea, but reading the first five chapters which can be found here I can see how it could happen. I really want to read this book when it com...

I liked both series, and one of my favourite books is CotM, but I would have to say, as i did previously on the old site, that the Shadow Series was my favourite. I liked the politics and the military application, and Bean Petra and Peter were all well drawn characters. ES was a good book but it is ...
