Comment on Opinion: Thomas Cahill's Catholic Angst

This is as good a critique of Cahill as one could hope for. Cahill, indeed, pays only lip service to the role of women in the church and how women have been systematically removed from the church. His recent book on the middle ages certainly bares this out, even with his lengthy tome on feminism. what saves that book is his whithering indictment of the corrupt papal system in light of the priest pedophile scandal.

Comment on Opinion: Thomas Cahill's Catholic Angst

I read how the Irish saved Civilization. Sorry but if one has already read Comyns Beaumont, Ana Wilkes, Conor Macdari, Godfrey Higgins, Immanuel Velivkosky, Rev. Robert Taylor, L.A. Waddel, Doug Reed, Sigmund Freud, Gerald Massey Kersey Graves, Ralph Ellis, Jim Fitzpatrick and Michael Tsraon just to name about half f the scholars I have read, Cahill is simply another writer that follows the myth mongers of the Church and ruling elite. He quotes oher myth mongers and in How the Irish saved Civil. he quotes the Romans, who of course are going to shed light upon the situation as they see fit. The info about St Patrick, who he was and what he really did is an awful bastardization of History.

Two major things Cahill refuses to address is the removal of Matriarchy and the theft of the goddess tradition and the removal of astro theology from the Irish Bards, Ovates and Minstrels. Tis was all done for monotheistic control. These pagans Chill condescends were the High priests with scared knowledge and the censoring Church new that.

This book is clearly an appeasement for the Irish rather than the "truth", you now, the word originating from goddess "Taurt" which is where the word Tarot originates and also is why the 1st testament is named Torah. The Irish, British and Scots are our origins of civilization, ST Patrick knew this and killed anyone who wanted to worship the god within themselves. Cahil writes well, however his facts are wrong and the atest archaeological finds will exhibit this fact.

Comment on Movie Review: No Country of Old Men (2007)

just saw no country for old men; it's unassumingly unconventional and yet (thankfully) never over the top. a bit morally dumbfounding, but that can be a good thing... all in all the Coen brothers deserve their Oscars, well done indeed.

I'm intrigued by this review--I'll have to read Sign of the Cross. We've blogged about The Last Templar and The Last Cato recently on our blog, Get Your English On.

Comment on Music Review: Jerry Lee Lewis: Live at the Star Club Hamburg

The Killer, his personal life, the public, the media, that venue, the crowd, the record industy's treatment of him, that time in history, and his vengeance combined to make the best rock album ever pressed onto vinyl.
I just can't see those elements coming into perfect alignment again: Jerry Lee Lewis' primordial offering that night can never be duplicated...and do we really need anyone to try? I'm satisfied with what he gave us...
When I played "Live At the Star Club Hamburg" for my husband the first time, he heard "Mean Woman Blues" and said, "The guitar players' fingers must be bleeding already."
Your review is on the mark. I enjoyed reading it.
Did you know that the Bear Family is actually sitting on more music recorded that night?
The only bad thing about "Live at the Star Club Hamburg" is that it pisses me off that I wasn't there that night.
Oh, well: I get to see Jerry Lee perform in Charleston, SC on Jan. 26th. That'll have to do.
Good job on the review!
