I Just Heard A Sad Story

the translation of "Notre Dame". It's Latin for "Our Lady". Sad that
they could have named it Christ College or King's College; instead of
honoring the King of Kings, they chose instead to immemoralize His
earthly mother.
Don't tell ME the Catholics don't worship Mary.
Where are the Christ Colleges? Where are the King's Colleges? Ive
never heard of one or seen one, yet everywhere you go on the planet
you find buildings dedicated to Mariolatry.

Once again I doubt your supposed qualifications. They are two of the most
highly respected colleges in the world.

(frequently referred top as Christ's college)
Christ Church College
Christ Church is the largest of the Oxford University colleges. Its
grandeur owes much to the pride of one man, its founder, Cardinal Thomas
Woolsey.
Wolsey was himself a former member of Magdalen College. He became Master
of Magdalen in 1500, but that was merely a brief stopover on his meteoric
rise to power as chief advisor and chaplain to Henry VIII.
In 1525 Wolsey, also founder of Hampton Court Palace, aquired the
Augustinian priory on the site of St. Frideswide's abbey (see Anglo-Saxon
Oxford). Wolsey had the site cleared, and began construction of a
grandiose complex of buildings around a green quadrangle (now known as Tom
Quad). By the time of Wolsey's death in 1529 the college was still
incomplete - not surprising considering the scope of Wolsey's project.
The college was originally called Cardinal College, but after Wolsey's
death Henry VIII took over the college and it was renamed Henry VIII's
College.
In 1545 the dean of the college, "gave" the college and all its
possessions to the king. On the same day the Bishop of Oxford also "gave"
the see of Osney to the crown. Henry then combined the see and the college
in a unique establishment he called Christ Church. The church of St.
Frideswide in one stroke became the chapel of Christ Church and the
Cathedral of Oxford.
The royal connection with Christ Church continued during the English Civil
War. King Charles chose Christ Church as his residence. His court sat in
the Deanery, and the royalist "Parliament" convened in the Great Hall. The
king attended serice in the church daily, sitting in the Vice-Chancellor's
stall.
The king's cousin George Stuart, Lord d'Aubigny, was killed at the Battle
of Edgehill and buried in the Cathedral in an unmarked grave, as were his
two brothers, also killed early in the war. There are also a number of
royalist monuments near the Becket Window in the Cathedral.
Parliament temporarily abolished the bishopric of Oxford after the Civil
War, but this act was quickly overturned when the monarchy was restored.
One of the more famous alumni of Christ Church was the mathematician
Charles Dodgson, known to most people as Lewis Carroll, author of Alice in
Wonderland. Dodgson was a Student in mathematics at Christ Church for 48
years. He wrote "Alice" for Alice Liddell, daughter of the Dean of Christ
Church. The New Library houses the best collection of Lewis Carroll's work
anywhere in the world.
Although the original scope of Christ Church was grandiose enough,
subsequent generations of Deans have added major architectural projects of
their own. Most notable of these projects was built by Sir Christopher
Wren, who was commissioned to create a tower atop the gateway into
Wolsey's Great Quad. Wren completed the structure, dubbed Tom Tower, in
1682. It is now one of the most famous of Oxford's "dreaming spires".

Only complete ignoramuses would completely miss my point. That must
have been deliberate! Even Phar Lap isn't THAT stupid. Or... maybe he
is.

You missed the point, numbskull.

Understanding Latin has never been on the top of my list of important
things to know.

Apparently more than you. If you pray to her, if you name colleges and
universities and hospitals after her, you are worshipping her.

Yes. And I'll leave you to ponder that, pagan.
