excellent folks.  The ones who use their religion as a political 
brickbat are something else again.

A Jesuit, eh?  Wooo, those books are going to rock his world!  Maybe you 
should include a Quintarian pilgrimage ribbon of five colors as a

OK, steering this all back on topic:  what about Christian dietary laws
