"Nice allusion to a great Catholic book...The Lord of the Rings."

It is rare to see one so completely and unashamedly proclaim ones ignorance.

Must suck to call someone ignorant and find you are the ignorant one. The good news for you is that today that ends.

To quote J.R.R. Tolkien: "[The Lord of the Rings is] a fundamentally religious and Catholic work."

Come back and chat when you abandon your ignorance.

One of the things I liked most about The Lord of the Rings was its many Catholic elements. I know JRR Tolkein wrote in one of his letters that the lembas bread of the Elves was really based on the Eucharist.
