I'd be interested in that stuff, but I can't be bothered clicking a handful more times to get a PM to you

Hey, copy me on that, would you?  ;P

I'm honestly rather intrigued.

I'll make a note to send them to you. Got to read a text in medieval spanish right now while having a cold, and I hate everything about it.

The conservatives earned 15 more seats than last time,  in the repeat election in Spain, despite rampart corruption, and evidence of using the security forces of the state in order to attack and discredit their political opponents. I'd never despaired so much after an election

Francis is a conciliarist, which is to say his position is one of decentralization, giving more power to the individual priest in a manner not dissimilar from the orthodox christians. Most popes tend to go in the opposite direction.

On heresy: according to the doctrine of the Catholic Church, heresy is having practices that are not of the Catholic (Universal) Church and saying they are the correct ones. So protestants are heretics. Orthodox (and maybe coptic?) christians get called schismatics instead because most differences are political. People who leave the religion are apostates.

Ahh, thank you.

Catholic Church does not into thoughtcrime.

I don't know.  As sort of a boots on the ground report, I know the pastor of a Catholic church in my city actively supports allowing priests to conduct gay marriages.  And he did before it was cool.  Hopefully, there will be more like him post-Francis.

"Hopefully there will be more heretics post-Francis"
