"The Popes, of course, were usually Catholic."

I'm laughing so hard at this [livejournal.com profile] mock_the_stupid post, I can barely breathe!

"History," declared Henry Ford, "is bunk." And yet, to paraphrase George Santayana, those who forget history and the English language are condemned to mangle them. Historian Anders Henriksson, a veteran of the university classroom, has faithfully recorded, from papers submitted by freshmen at McMaster University and the University of Alberta, his students' more striking insights into European history from the Middle Ages to the present. Possibly as an act of vengeance, Professor Henriksson has now assembled these individual fragments into a chronological narrative that we present here.

Read, and enjoy!

Gosh - Fr. Tom seemed really lifelike when I saw him this past weekend. I guess you never can tell.
