St Ignatius of Loyola and the Cumaen

This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

So could his Order - 'black' (OK fuligin) clothing, prohibition of 
marriage, primacy of absolute obedience ('Torturers Obey') and their 
method of selecting recruits: other than boy babies born within their 
Tower, the Seekers of Truth and Penitence will take and educate male 
children who come to them (presumably with their condemned parent/s) who 
are able to stand beneath a certain metal bar which projects at about 3 
ft. ('the height of a man's groin' - or similar, I don't have the book 
in front of me right now) from a bulkhead.

'Give me a child before he is seven years old and he is mine for life'.
