six and seventy. angelica was a spazzy child.

Though the things I said as a child reflected heavily on the time, as I am certain many of you are aware the year for me was 1630, or surmised the era from speaking to me, I feel I must reiterate that certain beliefs of mine are much changed

Well, I've known a Catholic or two to indulge in baby's blood every once in a while. Mind you, they were pretty bloody lapsed.

[naughtbutlife]

Well. Obviously not all Catholics are going to be innocent, sinless individuals.

[breakmychest]

Yeah, and these ones were vampires too, so far from it.

[naughtbutlife]

Then my point stands, for most Catholics are not vampires who indulge in the blood of babies.

I doubt very much that the Church would stand for that sort of business.

[plz_gtfo_dragon]

I wouldn't want to speak too soon about those Catholics.

[naughtbutlife]

Aye? And why is that, sir? Surely, most do not drink the blood of babes.

[plz_gtfo_dragon]

Well, the idea behind the transubstantiation is that Jesus is constantly dying for our sins, which is why the bread and wine can still become his actual flesh and blood. Therefore, Jesus exists at all points in time, so he is simultaneously dying on the cross, and a baby in the manger, therefore when Catholics take communion, they are drinking the blood of a baby.

So yes, they all drink babies blood.

[Valmont took A-Level Theology, solely to troll his religious classmates, he doesn't really believe this.]

[naughtbutlife]

I do believe that is where such nonsense began, sir. If they drink the actual Blood of Christ, or believe it so, it is not so far-fetched that they might harvest babes from their mothers, and drain them of their blood in secret rituals that take place upon a hidden altar in the apse.

Or this is what we were told. Clearly there is a marked difference between the Blood of Christ and the blood of slaughtered innocents.

[grand_lotus]

I don't think anyone would suspect you of believing those things as a grown woman.

[naughtbutlife]

I could not be certain, for I was quite adamant and self-assured as a child. Best to clear the air, as it were, for one never can be too sure what others may believe.

[grand_lotus]

True enough.

[Private]

Are you well, madam? It seems a long time since we have spoken.

[He's...going to stick with 'madam' until she invites him to call her anything else. It just seems like the sort of courtesy she'd be used to.]

[naughtbutlife]

It does, does it not? I am better than I was yesterday, and even better than I was the week before, though still fairly out of sorts than is typical for me.

And how do you fare, Iroh? [And there's his invitation. c:]

Private

[greatlightother]

For me?

Why?

Private

[naughtbutlife]

For your birthday, and to beg your forgiveness for seeming poor-spirited.

Private

[greatlightother]

You have nothing to apologize for.

What is it?

Private

[naughtbutlife]

Nothing terribly special, just a ribbon. Tis very pretty though, and from Holland.

[naughtbutlife]

Aye, then I shall later.

And we agree on that matter. Ignorance equates it to massacring infants. In truth, most theologians in my time did not debate transubstantiation in that way, for they were more concerned it was a form of idolatry.

Re: private

[naughtbutlife]

The kettle, if you would. I feel odd drinking.

I found that I could not agree with many theologians, for they all argued against women speaking in church. They can debate until the end of days about idolatry and the Blood of Christ and Papists and what-ever else, but if they are silent about women then I shall not hear a word they say.
