Neither RL crap, nor power failure, nor, nor, uh, anything else will keep me from reacting to this episode. *swats everything away* Shoo!

Catholicism has a lot of nifty stuff to it. Most of the people at my office are Catholic and because they seem to think I'm the only one that knows how to use the internet, they tap me to look stuff up once in a while like lay baptisms. Loads of interesting stuff, I guess which comes from having a religion be a major world power for a long while and free to explore the text and develop rituals without fear of external persecution. I guess. :-)

Absolutely! They must, or else the story of Lucifer's fall just wouldn't work. He must have been able to choose between good and evil, and then have chosen evil, or else he either couldn't have fallen, or the fall would have been beyond his control.

That makes perfect sense. I had thought there was something about Lucifer being in the first rank of angels and subsequent ones that came about after the Fall were not allowed free will, but I'm not sure where I picked that up from. Maybe something in college.

It's funny, being a fan of this show. I took a course on Milton in college, and also did a bit of an independant study into Dante's Inferno, among other things, and I never thought that years later I'd be wishing I could find the course materials and the essays I wrote because of a TV show.
