A Holy Night in Hell: Carthusian Priest in KZ

KZ Gusen was called the "Hell of Hells". But even there Christmas was celebrated. On the parade ground and in secret: the prisoner P. Jacques was able to celebrate Mass on 24. Dezember 1944. It was the most moving Liturgy of his life, reported a survivor.

Yes, and in other news, water is wet...

I may have a few more questions for this poster, like;

Is the source his own blog?"
Why not put this in the blogger's forum? Wouldn't it fit there just as well if not better?
I noticed that both "current events" and "history" were listed in topics. Could we have an explanation of how both can be so (in his own words).

Not everything with a religious theme need be posted in the religious forum. I wouldn't have had any doubts that this one didn't fit here, save for the 2-line lead in, the fact that it came from a blogger, etc.

I'll give it a day or more before assuming that it's just another blog pimp, this time pimping a "christmas" story.

Ok, so today, Sunday must not have been a good day for you to provide a reply. Although I do see that you have posted yet another item in the religion forum, from the same blog. With the same format, just a couple of lines, with no additional comment.

If you really do want folks to spend some time giving the blog you seem to promote a "listen", please don't hide.

The questions are simple enough...and I won't bite.

...But yet another question has come up. One you've been asked before, if my memory serves?

Why the name "Zero"-beron? It is just like "O" [pronounced 'oh'] beron, just different? It is much like the moniker of another freeper, save that that other freeper has been signed on since the year 2000, where this handle of yours has a March 2010 sign on date.

Was this an accident, on your part? Please tell me it was. Maybe give me some idea of how that particular moniker came about? I won't take all that much to "humor" me...

You might even win a friend.

Actually, I was hoping for some reply or explanation from you.

Remember;

When a man contends with you, agree with him quickly

ok, so I'm perhaps paraphrasing, but I'm not distorting...

It is not like I am asking for the shirt off your back, or your coat or cloak, either.

It is very simple. If you wish to be well received in your efforts here, a bit of "clearing up" is called for, of those things that may taint others' views or opinion of;

yourself
the source you frequently post links on FR from.

If these things (the various questions) can be clarified, please feel free in the future to refer any other questioners having the same sort of concerns, to this thread.

I would even be likely (in the future) to chime in with the provided answers myself, if I saw that others posed the same questions, thus saving you the time & effort of needing reply on each occasion, personally. By which I mean, you may get something in return.

Otherwise, if these are common questions (even if they get under your skin!) perhaps you could post enough background, or explanation on your FR home page?

Or, if you like, may I ask (again) is that your own blog you are promoting? That is a simple enough question, isn't it?

Why make this so difficult?
