I was waiting for that, with baited breath(?).

I don't know.

all I can say is, *I* didn't do it, nobody I know personally did it, nor does
orthodox Christianity prescribe such action (it's not in the Book).
The Roman Catholic Church of that time and this does not match the description
of the Church found in the Book, and it is on this basis, and this basis only,
that I make such assertions.
