Yeah, I couldn't believe that one either. There really is a strong anti-Catholic bias there. Geez, guys, you broke with the Catholic church four hundred years ago. Get OVER it.

I don't understand how you can write "historical" fiction and ignore the Catholic Church or its place in history.

I don't see how even the most pious person could stand to read this kind of treacly crap. Hell, I couldn't even stand the virginal virgins of Barbara Cartland's stories.

You know, reading through that list again, I just gotta ask. Who the fuck came up with that list? Cotton Mather?

The Vestigial Virgins. Lie back and think of England.
