Increate on trial

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.

Perhaps, but it doesn't imply any "privileged access to" the will of (oh,
just say it) God. Certainly not to a Catholic, to whom every suffering
is to be "offered up" to Jesus.

(Side note, to Christians in the group: I'm finally being confirmed in the
Catholic church this evening. Please offer a prayer.)
