You do realize that 1.) syphilis is cured completely by antibiotics as are many STD's and 2.) the only way she got it was by (assuming she is a straight woman) from another man. So why is excommunicating her necessary? Why not find the guy that gave it to her and give him a piece of your mind?

Not just that she is an untrustworthy "whore" but that considering her to be a heretic would be elevating her above the status of untrustworthy "whore".

They had made their decisions out of their own conviction and faith ...

Keira Knightley just jumped about 100 notches of awesome in my book.

Fuck fuckity fuck fuck fucking shit ass bollocks. That is my reaction to him writing an 8th book. FUCK. THAT. NOISE. I'm so over the length of this series because each book is a fucking tome and I don't want to be reading this shit for the rest of my life. Not to mention, I'm sick of the lack of payoff at this…

Fun-Fact: I had a TalkGirl as a kid. And I used to record my sister, my two cousins, and I singing ridiculous songs like "Down By the Bay" and "Miss Mary Mack" and the like.

... I wish I'd thought of that! Beer Barrel Polka is a majorly popular tune for my dad and I because I'd play it in pep band at high school football games. I miss playing it. That, and we're from Wisconsin.

All of My Love, Led Zeppelin. Could be about any kind of love. And my dad is a huge Led Zeppelin fan, so it worked.

Did you not catch that in episode 8 or 9 in season 1? It was somewhat subtle.

For a second, I thought the cat was just gonna sit there and be like "Meh, help yourself."
