Dear annalex,

It's possible that your interpretation is right. The English of the website isn't very good, and it may be that the folks who wrote what I quoted didn't mean it quite the way it came out.

However, the way it is actually written, the fairest reading of it is that it is ironic that the Roman Church is just so darned "anti-gay," since here, these two martyrs were gay lovers.

But you could be right that this is not what was meant by the individuals who put up the site and wrote the copy.

However, because I'm uncertain of what they actually were trying to say, I think with seamole, I'll be cautious regarding the site.

What is it with you guys? Here is a picture and description of the oldest altar, still in use - a design that some post VCII churches have emulated - and you focus on the poor English translation of the Syrian web master. I don't see any criticism of his other poor terminology or translation. p> The focus of this thread is the altar, not the two Roman soldier converts who are both recognized by the Church as saints. Puhlease!
