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.

I think the information came from Lemur...but, okay, he had never been 
on Urth either. Still, the rituals of the Charter map one-to-one with 
the Catholic Church. And the Chrasmological Writings contain references 
from the Gospels.

As for evidence in BotNS itself, I offer Andrew and Matthew's analysis:

    Also. Severian dreams of a ritual taking place in the Citadel chapel

    it.


Matthew Weber replied-
In the Eastern Orthodox liturgy, the (leavened) bread used in Communion 
is cut with a triangular-bladed knife, referred to as the Spear.
