Scrupulosity/Both Kinds
(1) It is absurd to deny that scrupulosity was a major factor. There came a time when few people received the Eucharist in either form, consecrated bread or wine.
(2) The question of whether one ought to receive Communion under one or both kinds is irrelevant to the article. What is relevant is the fact that the chalice was denied to the people. That fact, in turn, meant that baptized infants had no proper means to receive the Eucharist. Perhaps that would be a good idea for another article...
(3) The idea of restricting the Eucharist contrary to the Gospel is the problem. "Suffer the little children to come unto me..." Christ did not say Suffer the big children to come unto me... Nor did He say Suffer the smart children to come unto me...

- Thanks for your messages, Theo. I spend most of my Wikipedia time at the Terri Schiavo talk page, so words like "absurd" roll off my back, anyway! I see from your user page that you've studied with Open University. So have I. Cheers. Ann Heneghan 22:14, 26 July 2005 (UTC)
Absurd?
You may be right. I know I sometimes say absurd things. One runs that risk whenever one opens one's mouth... --Sophroniscus 14:26, 26 July 2005 (UTC)
I have my wife to remind me... --Sophroniscus 15:08, 26 July 2005 (UTC)
Thanks!
Hello.
I would just like to say tusen takk for copyediting the kammerlader article - you caught a lot of stuff that flew right under my radar. Again, thanks. WegianWarrior 06:10, 26 July 2005 (UTC)
- In responce to your question... I got no username there (yet). But just tell me which article it is, and I'll be more than happy to return the favour. WegianWarrior 10:00, 26 July 2005 (UTC)
Filiocht?
Hi Theo. Have you seen Filiocht's page? I was a bit shocked when I saw it today. Can you shed any light on why he might have decided to leave? If there is anything I can do to help I would very much like to. I've emailed him, hopefully he'll respond. I was enjoying quite a bit working with you and him on the Dante list. I'd be very sad if he has left the project permanently. Regards, Paul August ☎ 14:48, July 26, 2005 (UTC)
I've tried to mediate between InShanee and Angie Y. but am completely unable to get any response out of her. Therefore Inshaneee is currently considering an RfC against her and he mentioned you had also had troubles with this user. Since I am primarily a mediator, I hate to have to take the next step, but seeing as Angie completely avoids any kind of interaction with me, I fear that might be the only way. Look here and here for conversations between me and Inshaneee. See here for my requests to Angie with no replies.
If you wish to discuss this issue, please leave a message on my talk page, and I'd like all discussion about this issue there. If you aren't interested, feel free to ignore me. :) Inter\Echo 09:58, 27 July 2005 (UTC)
- Thanks for your offer of assistance. I've started posting diffs on the subpage in question, as she continues to make mountains of edits that need editing/outright reversion. They are more subtble than her fanfic posts, but they still need a lot of work, and she refuses to discuss anything. I fear I may have to go ahead with the RFC (despite your misgivings), as I am quite tired of all the work I have been putting into this conflict, and it's really starting to seem like I have no other choice (all optimism aside). --InShaneee 18:32, 27 July 2005 (UTC)
- Don't know if you've got that subpage watched, but if not, I've added a few more references, just to let you know. Despite the fact that things are continuing unabated, I do appreciate your help, as she does seem to be responding to you somewhat (a small start, I suppose), and this is taking some of the workload off of my tired shoulders. --InShaneee 02:51, 30 July 2005 (UTC)
Hey Theo! Seeing as you're an admin, would you mind taking a look at Deguire and speedying it if you agree with me? It should have been deleted in May, but some crafty vandalism saved it. I just stumbled across it by chance a few minutes ago. All the best! --Scimitar parley 21:18, 27 July 2005 (UTC)
For the prompt service. . .
. . . as well as your excellent, ongoing contribution to Wikipedia, I, Lord Scimitar, occasional master of my user page, defender of not much actually, and King of my cubicle, grant you this barnstar. If you don't have one yet, you certainly deserve it.
"Virgil" to "Vergil"?
Hi Theo, User:Derek Ross has moved Virgil to Vergil and is changing to that speliing in lots of articles. In my experience "Virgil" is the much more common spelling. What is your experience? I've posted a comment on this at Talk:Vergil. If you have any thoughts on the matter you might want to join the discussion there. Thanks. Paul August ☎ 17:49, July 28, 2005 (UTC)
Thanks Theo for joining the "Virgil" discussion, and making all those edits. And a special thanks for my shiny new ... er rusty old barnstar, I will display it proudly! Paul August ☎ 13:39, July 29, 2005 (UTC)
Getting sucked back in
Hi there, after a period of about two weeks absence I have come back to wikipedia to find my username mentioned with accusations and personal attacks. The temptation was too strong, but I've decided not to respond to it any further. All i'm going to say is that when the RFC comes make sure it's done properly, he doesn't wiggle out of it and the outcome is worthwhile. I'll certainly sign it (along with about 25 other users) but I don't have the energy to contribute anything else. Keep up the good work. Jim Leonig Mig 14:51, 29 July 2005 (UTC)
- I think the problem is, the articles I most want to edit (Barnt Green, Lickey etc) are policed by him. If I make an edit on them, he always either revert it, or some other destrtuctive alteration a few hours later. It's horrible. The only reason I registered here was to make those articles, and I have a great deal of material to add to them. He knows this from discussion pages etc. I can't add it because it turns what should be a pleasurable activity into conflict. All I want now is to be left alone. Leonig Mig 10:15, 1 August 2005 (UTC)
