"Italy and France cant afford to leave the EU because it would drive up their borrowing costs and force them into default. If the citizens of France wanted their sovereignty back they would first have to implement austerity and deregulation to get their budget under control. But that isnt happening so theyll continue to be a vassal state"

"He can however be a democratic politician who spent his life advocating for the murder of the unborn. In which case the bishop of Chicago will try and give him a life-time achievement award. There's a proverb about this kind of thing something with bricks and glass houses. It'll come to me eventually"

"@lm999983 That is a touch hyperbolic on my part. The point was to emphasize that Trent did something new. It definitively answered the question and anathematized disagreement. In the way we usually mean canon today the Apocrypha only met that definition following Trent"
