Pages 376-378 was a riveting recap of Church History-- I learned more about the sacerdotal vs monarchical model than I did in 2 weeks of lecture

Mister Umberto Eco... WHAT are you talking about here? It's like smelling the smoke of a candle that's blown out. There COULD BE illumination here, but I can't quite grasp it. Only a wispy witness:
"But is this purity?" I asked, horrified.
"There must be some other kind as well," William said, "but, however it is, it always frightens me."
"What terrifies you most in purity?" I asked.
"Haste," William answered.

If you're an idiot, you should NOT read this book!

This is the most noncasual novel ever. While I'm loving this and it prob will go down as one of my all time faves-- ... it feels like I'll never finish this book-- I've been reading a few pages a night for like 4 months. The amount of untranslated Latin is certainly a rate limiting step, and if you really wanna enjoy it, you gotta LABOR to understand every historical detail. Type 2 fun? Probably. Worth it though.
