Bookwormjillk That was really a lot. At one point I think I blacked out and came to a few pages later but they were still talking about who knows what. 4mo

BarkingMadRead @Bookwormjillk it felt like 100 years 🤣 longest chapter ever 🤣 4mo
5feet.of.fury @Bookwormjillk 1/2 of the chapter was just 1 whole loooooooong paragraph! It was too much lol 4mo
Ruthiella @Bookwormjillk @5feet.of.fury 😂 I died a little inside when I saw that wall of text. 4mo
willaful I'll be honest, I gave up reading days ago. Still enjoying the comments though. 😊 4mo
BarkingMadRead @Ruthiella @5feet.of.fury I‘m so glad I wasn‘t the only one! @willaful maybe it will get better and you can jump back in 🤞🏻🤞🏻 4mo
currentlyreadinginCO Yeah idk bout this church and state debate... 4mo
emz711 Loving the Monty Python picture ;) 4mo
TheBookHippie For a moment I thought I was back in Les Mis stuck in the sewers… 😵💫😅👀😮💨 4mo
KAO Today‘s word that sent me scurrying for a definition: Ultramontanism. (From Britannica.com “in Roman Catholicism, a strong emphasis on papal authority and on centralization of the church.”) Whew! What a chapter! 4mo
BarkingMadRead @emz711 as soon as someone said tripping monks, i thought of this. I mean, they‘re not tripping, but still. I kind of wanted to whack myself in the head for this whole chapter so it totally fit. 4mo
TheAromaofBooks I was expecting this book to be depressing; was not anticipating being bored to death 😂 4mo
dabbe Imagine how everyone would have continued going on & on & on & on if they really were tripping. Holy guacamole, was that a loooooonnnnnnnggggggg chapter. #toomuchtimeontheirhands 💤💤💤 4mo
BarkingMadRead @dabbe I laughed way too hard at this 🤣 4mo
CatLass007 Okay, I just finished listening to this and I am lost. I can‘t really figure out who is making which argument and I‘m not sure I care anymore. But I kind of understand the arguments. Socialism and Communism were on the rise and as we all know there was a revolution in Russia. Two things that happened were the murders of the royal family and the abolishment of religion. This argument is a foreshadowing of those events. 4mo
Daisey @Bookwormjillk @5feet.of.fury @Ruthiella So long! I also tuned out for a bit. This book brought us in with a couple short chapters and now this. 4mo

mcctrish Firstly, crossing by my legs, if ever there was a blah, it was followed by a blah, blah, blah. Secondly, recrossing my legs, I had forgotten that in order for Russia to abolish religion, it had to have it ( in spades) @CatLass007 is right with her points. Thirdly, more recrossing of legs, @willaful I laughed out loud at your comment #letskeepchurchandstateseperate (edited) 4mo
Ruthiella @TheAromaofBooks OMG that made me laugh! 😆🤣😂 Bring on the depressing misery! 4mo
Aimeesue @TheAromaofBooks 🤣🤣🤣 4mo
Vansa Sorry if I'm late to this, is there a readalong happening of this? I would like to join! Is it a chapter a day? I haven't been on Litsy in a while! 4mo
BarkingMadRead @Vansa yes! We are reading a chapter a day! I can add you to the tag list if you‘d like 4mo
Vansa Please add me! I'll catch up by this weekend. Which translation would you recommend? 4mo
BarkingMadRead @Vansa oh gosh, I have no idea! Maybe do a hashtag search of #hashtagbrigade and see what everyone has? I know there are a few different versions and some of the wording has been different, but I don‘t think it‘s been anything too crazy 4mo
SamAnne Catching up. The Bros aren‘t the most enticing Mexican beach read. 😂 But I like this chapter from the standpoint of what ends up happening in Russia. 4mo
