To: Kolokotronis; Forest Keeper; Campion
Forest: "Next to Him, we are bugs, beloved bugs, but bugs."

Kolokotronis: No we're not. We are, as the Fathers say, a marvel of the angels.

This is just a question, not intended to be derogatory in any way, but why did you cite to the Fathers as authority when you could have just as easily cited to Psalm 8?

Carry on...

Probably I was in my "patristics mode" when I wrote that! :)

The Psalms are great and a wealth of wisdom, aren't they!
