I enjoyed it.
Ask the Pope, because the Church has such a great record (not).
Today 30,000 Roman Catholics gathered in St. Peter’s square in Rome to ask a kindly old celibate how he thinks people should manage their marriages.
I find myself remembering Catholic impotency trials of pre-revolutionary France and medieval England, where husbands were sometimes required to demonstrate virility in front of a jury composed of priests (and possibly the mother-in-law), and have their performances described in public record. The Church’s politically based meddling in marriage (their opposition to divorce has no basis in scripture) and system of ecclesiastic courts has wrought many a tragedy.
To give him credit, Pope Francis seemed to be doing his best to keep the conversation from getting too specific. You have to hope he sees the ridiculousness of it all.

Stained Glass of Chartres Cathedral
Dennis Aubrey has been photographically documenting the restoration of the Cathedral Notre Dame de Chartres.
The restoration of the stained glass at the cathedral is one of the great accomplishments of this project. Long considered the finest ensemble of medieval glass, we are just now beginning to see the windows in their original condition again. The years have not been kind and the accumulation of inside dust and outside pollution had made the windows almost opaque.
Shots of the newly cleaned windows are at Via Lucis.
Vatican Catacombs on Google Maps
October 14th, 947 A.H.
On October 14th, 1066, William the Bastard of Normandy got to change his name to William the Conqueror of England.
Jan 6th – Harald Godwinsson crowned the last Saxon King of England, despite a mildly controversial succession from gormless celibate King Edward the Confessor.
Apr 24th – Halley’s Comet shines over England, four times the size of Venus and brighter than the quarter moon. Flying monk Elmer of Malmesbury writes “You’ve come, you source of tears to many mothers, you evil. I hate you! It is long since I saw you; but as I see you now you are much more terrible, for I see you brandishing the downfall of my country.”
Sep 20th – Harald Hardraada, King of Norway, invades Yorkshire with the aid of Tostig Godwinsson, the (brutal, extremely unpopular, exiled) former Earl of Northumbria. Northern Saxon Earls Edwin and Morcar are crushingly defeated at the Battle of Fulford.
Sep 25th – King Harold Godwinson force-marches his huscarls the length of England in four days, catching the invading Norwegians by surprise at the Battle of Stamford Bridge. Harold offers his rebel brother Tostig restoration of his Earldom, but for Hardraada he promises only “seven feet of English ground, or as much more as he may be taller than other men”. Tostig refuses and he and Harald are both killed, along with nearly all the Viking force.
Sep 27th – William the Bastard sets sail for England with Church approval and 700 vessels stuffed full of men and horses.
Sep 28th – William arrives at Pevensey Bay, Sussex, after a rough crossing and the loss of several ships.
Oct 14th – Godwinsson arrives at Senlac Hill near the town of Hastings, having once again force-marched his men over 240 miles. William’s relatively fresh Norman-French army attacks the English force, and Harold and his brothers are killed. Harold’s mother offers to buy his body for its weight in gold; William refuses and orders it hurled into the sea.
Dec 25th – After burning down much of the south and west, William the Conqueror is crowned the first Norman King of England.
Pennsic 42 redux
Built the usual palatial treehouse, this time suspended by a thick iron chain on a handy oak tree. I bent over all the shrubbery and tree seedlings underneath and after a week and a half it popped right back up, which gratified my Boy Sprout “leave no trace” camping ethic.
The Midrealm was massively outnumbered, so the East Kingdom graciously sent a couple hundred troops over from time to time, which made things much more fun. It’s nice to see that sort of behavior – far too often in the past, SCA royalty have ignored the interests of the fighters in order to flatter their own egos. Kudos to HRM Gregor of the East!
During the field battles I kept a change of tape on the inside of my helmet, and frequently switched sides between bouts. So I got to form up with (and run away from) Clan Prechain, Markland, Concusar, Anglesey and Calontir.
I left midway through war week to spend some time with visiting relatives from Old Blighty, but while I was there I had a wonderful time, despite the Pennsic Jail and rock-stealing incidents.
the 70s called
The seventies called and left a message, something about a temple on fire but it was hard to hear over all the screaming and I’m not good with Hebrew anyway.
Make sure you read the mouseover texts on Randall’s comix!
last day of pre-reg for pennsic
As usual, I had to create a new account, having forgotten my many old ones. At least this year I didn’t accidentally hack the site and dump the backend database; that was embarrassing last time around.
