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.

Now now, aren't you reading too much into Wolfe's christian
background? Funny thing is that when I found out he is a converted
catholic (he mentioned it in some interview I read on the web), this
fact alone really put me off his books for a while, and I was reading
too much into certain scenes he describes, too (like the one where
Maytera's daughter and Silk/Horn "re-invent" the communion).

Your definition of "hallowed ground" might not fit Wolfe's. 

All the best & bye for now,
