A couple of readers have expressed the suspicion that our May 5 Atlanta bash

may be dominated by Roman Catholic theocons (“Papocons”?–just a suggestion)

& so may degenerate into earnest discussions about Transsubstantiation and

Immaculate Conception, probably conducted in Latin.

Have no fear. The Reformation, and even the Enlightenment, will be well

represented. I myself am at this moment working up a set of theses I shall

nail to the door of our meeting-place. I am sorry to report, though, that

the Rev. Ian Paisley has not yet replied to my request for him to make a

guest appearance.
