The Ghost, the Pope, and Peter O’Toole
Five days after he opened the National Theatre of Great Britain, Peter O'Toole sat in a BBC studio talking about ghosts. The date was October 27, 1963. His stage that week was the Old Vic, where the National had launched itself on October 22 with an uncut Hamlet, four and a half hours of it, directed by Laurence Olivier and starring O'Toole, thirty-one years old and world famous off the back of Lawrence of Arabia. On television he had company worth the license fee: Huw Wheldon hosting the late-night arts program Monitor, Orson Welles holding forth across the table, and the veteran Ernest Milton, who had worn the black doublet himself decades before. That conversation survives, and I have been living inside it for a week. […]https://bolesblogs.com/2026/08/21/the-ghost-the-pope-and-peter-otoole/

Wie @Saupreiss richtig erkannt hat:
Religionsgemeinschaften beziehen sich auf geheilige Überlieferungen, Symbole, Mythen, Rituale, Feiertage und oft auch Schriften (sog. "Religionen").
Staaten beziehen sich auf geheiligte Überlieferungen, Symbole, Mythen, Rituale, Feiertage und oft auch Verfassungsschriften (sog. "Zivilreligionen").
Die protestantische Reformation forderte die Rückbesinnung auf die Bibel, die über Jahrhunderte mimetisch überformt worden war.
Ich fordere (nicht ohne freundliches Augenzwinkern) die Rückbesinnung auf unser Grundgesetz, das seit Jahrzehnten mimetisch überformt worden ist.
Wir können sogar das konkrete Jahr benennen, in dem die Bundesrepublik begann, zivilreligiös & mimetisch vom Weg des Grundgesetzes abzufallen: 1961.

I've reached the bottom of the big barrel of #Lutheran #clergy in my #familyHistory in the Upper County of #Sponheim now with one very speculative case hailing from #trarbach (there is still one stray clergymen in the pipeline from a completely unrelated branch)

Der erste lutherische #Pfarrer in #Kirn an der #Nahe steht in meiner #Familiengeschichte. Der zweite auch, obwohl nicht mit dem ersten verwandt.

Why did the #Catholic #Church only do the #Mass in #Latin until 1962? It was a language few people spoke except the very educated. The Church didn't even allow vernacular translations of the #Bible until the #Reformation forced their hand. Did people in #medieval Europe go to church every Sunday just to hear chanting in a language they didn't understand? How did they learn the #gospel? Was it like a situation with the #Quran and #Arabic? Why then didn't the priests teach everyone #Latin?

Aus Pfarrerstoechtern werden Pfarrersfrauen - das eng geflochtene Netzwerk der #Pfarrerfamilien nach der #Reformation kannte auch matrilineare Verbindungen - hier einige Beispiele aus meiner #Familiengeschichte:

#Lutheran #clergy in the centuries after the #reformation was a dense family network. Not only did the priests aspire that at least one son followed in their profession, they also networked to ensure their daughters married clergymen. In today's blog entry I've written up some of the resulting #matrilines in my #familyhistory.

#Trarbach an der #Mosel hatte eine sehr bewegte #Geschichte von der #Reformation bis 1734. Erst nach der endgueltigen Zerstoerung der #Grevenburg kam es zur Ruhe. https://proseandpassion.blogspot.com/2026/04/a-plucky-little-lutheran-town.html #FamilienGeschichte

“Where do you read in the Bible that Christ, the apostles, and the prophets imprisoned, banished, burned or murdered anyone?” Sometimes researching #theology yields priceless moments, like this quote from Argula Von #Grumbach an early #female lay theologian. This quote comes from a letter she wrote in 1523, that is considered the start of her career as a #laytheologian writing in Bavaria during the #Reformation
Honestly, she gives me hope for #ChristianFeminism and #women theologians who are not ordained and don’t have academic credentials. I think I’m going to enjoy learning more about her!
