Gee....the Cyrillic alphabet is named for St. Cyrill.

He and Methodius brought civilization and written language to the Slavs...in addition to Christianity.

What are they saying? European history doesn't exist, if the Christian church is mentioned?

Is Notre Dame invisible?

The alphabet now called Cyrillic is not the one invented by St. Cyril. The Glagolitic alphabet seems to have been the one he created—it survived in a few parts of Dalmatia until fairly recently and there is an inscription in Glagolitic in the cathedral in Zagreb. The so-called Cyrillic alphabet seems to have been invented soon after St. Cyril’s time, maybe at Ohrid in Macedonia.

Essentially, yes, and don't you just love the term "religious neutrality"? The Europeans are just like the liberals who infested the city when I lived there.

They really do know how to make beautiful and pleasant places to live. Unfortunately, their lack of knowledge of economics and human nature assures that their pretty places must eventually collapse.
