Atonement Theology and the Conciliator

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.

Yes, the missionaries were Frankish. The Saxons had only recently converted.

Of course they weren't less legitimate. But did they uplift humanity 
toward godhood?

In one sense they did, because Europe got rich off the Crusades and 
began to colonize the globe, leading eventually to spaceflight. But is 
that the right sense?
