“I’m much thankful for the revocation of the Edict of Nantes, if it weren’t for that, I’d be speaking French right now. “

I didn’t bring it up as an up or down proposition; just to point out that such historical phrases as “Edict of Nantes” or “Sola Scriptura” don’t need to be in a real dictionary to be understood and utilized.

I knew I was taking your phrase out of context, I meant no harm by it but was just reminded of my heritage and what a huge difference it made for me eventually that the Edict of Nantes was revoked. I would guess that a lot of people don’t even know what it was about.

Proud Huguenot.
