Found a well-done Catholic article on it yesterday and added it to my site.

You do realize the post you are referring to is over 9 years old....

This is beautiful.  TYF has been vindicated.  It took 9 years but you got a response to your thread!   ;D

I think this one could make a reasonable claim to be the OHT (Original Halloween Thread).

I think this thread Resurrection is a record breaking event even Severian couldn't do.  2002 is quite some time.

That is why I was so pleased that TYF responded! To my best recollection, this 9 year resurrection is a record!

And, just so folks know: sometimes I get asked about whether it's OK to resurrect a thread. Honestly, I would rather have a thread resurrected than multiple threads about the same topic. The single threads help in research and other inquiries.

Well, in all fairness, the superlative thread-resurrectioner Severian is busy with school. Give him time.
