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.

Only if we ignore the clear references to Him, e.g. Palm Sunday.  Why would Wolfe have put that in, if he wanted us to think that Christ had not come?  Easier to leave it out altogether, surely?
But that was not the point I wanted to make.  Something occurred to me with regard to the Sign of Addition.  You have suggested it refers to some other type cross-shaped icon such as the swastika.  But do any of these have a sign made with the hand associated with them?  Because there wasn?t just a cross on Silk?s Rosary ? there was a hand-sign associated with it.
