    Pope Gregory XVI condemned slavery in 1838, however many bishops, priests and laity did not accept that decree until a more forceful pronouncement was made in 1888 by Pope Leo XIII. Mary must have been one of those who rejected Pope Greogory's condemnation at the time.

    The Church's teaching on slavery was clear. The 1839 Constitution <In Supremo> by Pope Gregory XVI continued the antislavery teaching of his predecessors, and was in the same manner not accepted by many of those bishops, priests and laity for whom it was written. Especially in the southern states.

    The book took off it haves memorable moments in time, probably WWII. Cora & Mrses Russell's one Black & White -take a pilgrimage to France Meuse Aragon & Verdun to visit some unknown tombs and some known tombs-they form War Mothers & form Party A. Linwood sounds handsome who fancies Cora. This is not a copy cat it is an original story with flair....

    Michael, see if this makes you want to dig deeper and do a sequel. Here is an observation, Oxford had no need to do what his employees were already doing for him. Every theatrical group, including Oxfords, had half a dozen stock playwrights updating hundreds of plays which were in circulation. Oxford may have revised, he may have edited, he may have even assembled the first folio, it would have been beneath his station for him to have written the plays. This is suggested by the Henslowe diary. This Blanding quote makes the organizational structure of writing plays look a bit compartmentalized. A knowledgeable Lord would write a story line with notable quotes for the stock playwrights. The playwrights would organize the material into acts and sceans with stage direction. This would be followed by rehearsals, critiques, and revisions. And then the performances for the audiences. Players would learn and perform a round Robin of half a dozen plays doing a different play every day. This is suggested by the available evidence and from the overlap of North in Shakespeare.... "Not once, in all that time, have I found anything to disprove the notion that Thomas North wrote source plays for all of the plays in the Shakespeare canon. Nor, however, have I found anything that definitively proves it. Despite the First Folio, there are no surviving plays with Thomas North’s name on them, or even hard evidence that North was a playwright. There are no references to his dramatic works in letters, theater registers, or revels records. There are no surviving documents that place him in Italy in 1570 or Kenilworth in 1575 …. In short, it’s entirely possible McCarthy has devoted a decade and a half of his life to a fantasy - an imaginative and plausible one, to be sure, but a pipe dream, which may prove no less true than the notion that the Earl of Oxford or Sir Francis Bacon secretly penned all of Shakespeare’s oeuvre." Any theory must account for all of the available evidence. So is the answer to "Who wrote Shakespeare?" the stock playwrights.

    Yes: Peter Orner’s books are indeed unique. I cheerfully sacrificed two pens & a full night’s sleep for my notes & underlining when rereading “Still No Word From You”. Focus: “the only honest way to construct a life on the page is the gathering of fragments.” Well said. Yes: writers ARE all “unreliable narrators” - thankfully. Contradictions are perhaps that “gathering of fragments”.

    The Shakespeare industry, centered in Stratford-upon Avon, is the biggest tourist attraction in Britain... so anything that challenges that cash cow is going to be unaccepted, regardless of how much evidence against WS's genius is brought forth- and this work, after reading everything Dennis and Michael (and June), have written, which is an absolute slam-dunk, does just that.

    Tim, you might wish to read 'The Eruption in Tulsa' by NAACP investigator Walter White. Walt says that a group of 75 black guys killed 10 whites (with a loss of 2) at the courthouse. No mention of the number of injuries. This was in the evening before the attack on Greenwood. Some may say that this courthouse massacre led to the destruction of Greenwood. If you disagree with this claim, please do.

    Robert E. Lee released all his slaves before he went to war. The civil war (or better: the war between the states) was not about slavery as we are told today. It was about economy. Lincoln said that if he could preserve the Union without releasing one single slave, he would do it. And if he could preserve the Union by releasing only half of all slaves, he would do that too. And thtat he had never thought of equality of rights for the blacks. The war was completely useless. It cost more than 600.000 lives. And slavery would have been abolished pretty soon without a war. Brazil abolished slavery in 1869. And if there were a USA and a CSA, there would have been no Adolf Hitlere and no Nazi-Germany.

    This was an excellent presentation by Dr. Larson and the follow up questions from Ms. Hendrickson were superb. It's quite clear that Mrs. Surratt was guilty of being an accomplice in the murder of a US President. It was a serious crime that was set in motion to severely damage the stability of the government. I will always believe that her execution was warranted.

    Well, what we have in your comment, Brand, is this typical modern habit of using psychiatric labels to label and essentially silence a person who makes you uncomfortable, particularly artists, and even more, the use of such labels directed towards women who break the mold, in particular. As this presentation indicates, Edna St. Vincent Millay's literary contribution was extraordinary and goes well beyond the person herself. But go ahead, dismiss her. Do you honestly believe that a standard, average woman of her day would have gone off and claimed a literary life and had the guts to write and publish? Are you kidding. Wake up, Brand, because you don't seem to be tuned into what's been going on historically with women.

    @@elizabetha.richter4073 Actually, she's one of my favorite modern poets (and very underrated, imo). But, at the same time, I think she was artificially promoted in the media of that time to normalize promiscuity, smoking/drinking etc. among young women. A psyops which then continued apace (in the post war period). I think she was also used as some sort of spy (a "Natasha" as it were) and that she was eventually murdered by her own handlers. At least there are many odd aspects to her phenomenal career. And some details of her death are quite suspicious. They always say, there's the carrot, and there's the stick. But the stick always wins.

    @@brandgardner211 Well, I'm not going to know the truth of what you suspect, and what you say could be true. It could be true of any one of the artists and performers who have gained notoriety in our lifetime. T.S. Eliot, for instance, who wrote only a handful of poems, and is somehow still considered the greatest poet of the 20th century. I will still contend that you will never see such a coordinated attack against a male writer as the one you have launched against Edna St. Vincent Millay here. You think T.S. Eliot was sane? We could pick out any number of writers and the most prominent feature of the good majority of them is that mental health speaking they launched their works from places that were well beyond the norm. So? That is not what should be under discussion here. What matters is the work. Still, you make good points and I'm glad you brought this all up.
