www.byzcath.org Forums General Discussions Town Hall Hi, I'm Anathema Sit

How strange...I didn't post here, but the front page says I did, so now atleast it will be correct! LOL!

You did you asked me about my name remember?

"Anathema sit": Isn't that how Pope Leo X answered Martin Luther when he said, "Here I stand" (Cf. Roland Bainton)?

Yes--but that was a few days ago...it said that I had posted this afternoon, but there was no post!

Your forum 'name' makes me uncomfortable every time because it is now used a terrible curse in modern Greece which is used by people that are not nice at all. (It means: Cursed be you or May you be cursed!) This has nothing to do with ecclesiastical anathemas.

Can you please give us some kind of a real name to address you by?

As for your ecclesiastical anathema title,

Have you heard the joke about a person who named his dog 'Anathema' and would say: "Anathema--sit!" ??
