My searches for 'Severus' had failed to pull up such a succinct explanation. I do appreciate your taking the time and trouble to answer me here on this relatively trivial query.CGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06042550309690689027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5134782302655515338.post-8888124497130544252010-05-17T17:08:10.152+02:002010-05-17T17:08:10.152+02:00Fr John Behr answers:
