Please go on (and on) dear NP. We all need more kulcha out here in the barren hinterlands west of the Hudson, and your team is just the ticket.
I have to disagree with you on that. If that was their intent, they failed miserably as it to me looked and felt more like an interpretation of history as seen through a director who makes soft porno movies or MTV videos and has not read anything of the historical period.
There was plenty of soft porn and hard porn IMHO. That one scene of a male servant wh@cking off King Henry was gratuitous and yucky, totally unnecessary in my opinion. The producers/directors didn’t’ even try to make the actor playing Henry look like the real Henry—what was that about? And some of the costumes for Anne Boleyn were just silly, like Bob Mackie had recycled some of his outfits from “Dynasty” LMAO.
This is very true! It annoys me how the American Catholic church has gotten rid of things like Evensong, etc. Even very Catholic parishes that have the Latin Mass don’t keep the ancient rituals and services. Grrrr! A sense of beauty is so important to religion. I’m currently listening to lectures on comparative religion. I started with Hinduism because of their brilliant sense of beauty and color.
I’m not usually a fan of Pryce having seen him ruin My Fair Lady and hump a Cadillac in Miss Saigon but he’s really excellent in Wolf Hall.
Take it up with the Irish, dearest NP. The pale of settlement has specific meaning in Irish history regarding Dublin and the mountains beyond, that even has religious connotation that I thought rather ironic given the circumstance. Oh well, blast away. It’s amusing.
SAINT JOHN THE DIVINE is an ANGLICAN cathedral in Manhattan and used to do true Anglican services, with a full on Anglican boys choir ( the private school for the boys was attached to the church, though I don't know if it is still what it once was.
SAINT CHRYSTOSOM, in Chicago, is a full on ANGLICAN HIGH CHURCH, though a smaller version and still is doing the whole HIGH CHURCH bit.
I'm sure that there are others, though struggling, in America.
I'm extremely familiar with both the Anglican and Episcopalian religions/services and you don't know what you're talking about.
And FWIW...there used to be a HIGH CHURCH, true to the Wesleys, Methodist/Episcopal church/service in America too. That is now gone; sadly.
Now we’re talking. MORE CAPS!!!!
That movie was vile, not as FACTUAL as you claim, and worthless.
There are tenets and there are tenants, which do you mean by the way? Or are you reverting to Old English? Just curious.
Ye gods and little fishes; the Brits are now as bloody stupid as many Americans are. :-(
That phrase is exactly what I said it is. :-)
LOL...but just keep on reveling in your own stupidity and ridiculing me over facts that, not all that long ago, EVERYONE used to know.
Henry the VIII last name was IamIam.
Point out any error on my part pertaining to Henry VIII if you would be so kind, dearest NP.
Yes, the American churches, of every denomination, have sadly, dumbed down their services and thrown the baby out with the bathwater, so to speak, to get more rear ends in the pews. But the opposite has happened...more and more people are just not going now.
What I posted is the fact of that phrased and IF the Irish are THAT dumb, t'ain't my fault nor problem.
And FWITW...I had a Great Aunt, by marriage, who was born in Ireland and SHE know what that phrase meant and where it came from.
Blow it out your ear.
Typo and since all you can do is pick nits, post snarks and uneducated claptrap, you should stop digging.
Now now, you’re acculturating the rubes, remember.
I’ll just assume you misspelled tenants, then.
