"The Motto"

Ah yes, the motto... Juliana, that rocks that you switched it to Latin.  Now I can have it on the bottom of my dress without feeling too ostentatious.

"Neca Eos Omnes.  Deus Suos Agnoset"

*Big grin*

I think we are going to have so very much fun.  :D

Google the Cathars -- it was during that persecution that this was widely used...

Here's a link to a one-page version of the story: http://www.hendersons.net/straitway/2001/03012001.htm

And a slightly different version from wikipedia:
Caedite eos. Novit enim Dominus qui sunt eius.
Translation: "Slay them all. God will know his own."
Variation: "Kill them all. Let God sort them out."
Supposed statement by Abbot Arnold Amaury before the massacre of Béziers during the Albigensian Crusade, recorded 30 years later, according to Caesar of Heisterbach.
