  1. Here is the problem we have seen: monasteries have been sending us letters full of good intentions but full of bad writing.

    The thoughts were right.

    The sentences were a mess.

    That worries us.

    If the monks can’t write clearly, can they really understand the Scriptures clearly?

    We think the two go together.

    Sloppy writing often means sloppy thinking. And sloppy thinking about the Bible is far more dangerous than sloppy writing.

  4. As there is a Charlemagne Prize for "uniting Europe", I wonder whether more than 1000 years from now, there will be a Putin Prize awarded for "uniting Europe"?

    Seriously, all you need is good PR and your descendants will be like "Wasn't it great when Charlemagne invaded the Saxons? And had their holy place destroyed? This is the behaviour we want to see in Europe"

  6. I was a bit surprised that psychic Char Margolis came out with the book You Are Psychic, recently. Is she trying to give away the game of being a psychic? After all, once you know her methods can’t you just be a psychic for yourself and get rid of any outside psychics?

    Then I became really excited by her book. Perhaps she is coming out with the real book of psychics where she tells us the secrets of magicians, mentalists and faith healers as well as the related secrets of psychics that we could all use to help us defraud the world in general. Then I thought about it again. The world just isn’t ready to hear all that.

    As to the You Are Psychic gimmick to earn readers, I’m just not feeling it. This book just doesn’t speak to me so I’m afraid it will be a pass from me in buying it. I listen to my gut and my gut says no.

    But what if it were true and I could bring out my inner psychic just by reading some book. What would I do with such all encompassing power?

    Well I don’t know what all I would do, but I can tell you the first thing I would do. I would firstly ask if Char is short for Charlotte, Charlene, Charlise or Charmaine. Or maybe it is a short form for a name that is more gender bending like Charlemagne or Charlie. Then, indeed, it might not be a short form at all but a complete name of four letters. Whatever. With all the psychic abilities Char Margolis is unleashing on this world, we will soon have an answer for this.

    So, if you use some google fu to find out the secret of Char’s name, don’t tell me that. Pretend you have psychic abilities and I am missing out on reading this step by step psychic guide. After all, maybe this book would speak to me if I bought the Audible version.

  8. Venice might not have been

    Venice was an independent state for almost a millennium, but it might note have been. It all hinged on a single battle fought in the Venetian lagoon in 810.

    In the 700s, it had been a province of the Byzantine Exarchate of Ravenna for a long time. However, long wars between the Exarchate and the Lombards had reduced the province to just a sliver of lagoon, called Venetia Marittima, between Grado in the north and Ravenna in the south.

    In 751, the Lombards got the better of the Exarchate, when they took Ravenna and captured and probably killed the last Exarch. Then the Franks under Charlemagne appeared in northern Italy, and defeated the Lombards.

  9. The Throne of Charlemagne is located in Aachen Cathedral in Germany. The Cathedral was built on the orders of the first Holy Roman Emperor Charlemagne who was buried there in 814. In 1978, it was one of the first 12 places to be listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
    #Charlemagne is regarded as the founding father of both France and Germany. Napoleon, on his coronation as Emperor in 1804, described his own crown as the "Crown of Charlemagne",
