Thank you Peter. Extraordinary in its way. Aren't people adaptable...

I am reminded of 'The Restaurant At The End Of The Universe'

and Mark Steyn's monologue in 2016, 'The Party At The End Of The World'.

Reincarnation of Charles The Hammer perhaps? (Battle of Tours AD732 ~ https://www.raymondibrahim.com/2013/10/10/today-in-history-the-battle-of-tours/)?

Relax John ;-) Here used in a more relaxed secular notion of 'a [proverbial] fresh embodiment'. The doctrine was ditched at the Council of Constantinople AD451 and it appears by 553 AD that the Roman Church officially declared reincarnation heresy. I think that is interesting and requires a full examination. After all, given the current secular meanderings and crimes of the Roman church, one hesitates to consider that consistency of expression of divine purpose is a necessarily reliable characteristic. Take the current Pontiff, a rainbow or two, and let's throw the German Bishops into the mix.
