Minor Hiccup
Posted 18 March 2008 in Internet by Catriona
For some reason, I can access the administration pages and the site, but can’t open specific pages or comment.
Nevertheless, loyal readers (mostly Tim and Nick at the moment, bless you both), I am still pondering the role that the Marriage at Cana played in the nineteenth-century Temperance Movement(s) against the time when I can post comments again.
(I am also very tired, and would never otherwise have used the term “loyal readers” in cold blood.)

Yep, tried to submit a couple of comments last night, but it stopped working some time after about 9 pm, I think.

That’s what I suspect—the last comment is yours at just before 9 p.m. But I was still marking then, so I didn’t follow it up until this morning, when I couldn’t even open a specific entry after a while.
Still, seems to be sorted out now.

My experience of the Temperance Movement (a misnomer: they are generally “total abstinence movements”) would suggest that, obviously, Jesus magicked non-alcoholic wine, which was why it was better than the earlier stuff.
No jesting: I have been told that in all seriousness. In the same way that the bit about new wine in old wineskins (Luke 5:37) is that the new wine expands all by itself, with absolutely no fermentation taking place at all. Ever.

That’s the most bizarre thing I think I’ve ever heard. I’m not suggesting that, once you have the power to change water into wine, you couldn’t go a step further and change it into non-alcoholic wine, but, really, why would you bother?
It seems like special pleading.
