Not a very good priest or monk if he had descendants!
But not a unique failing in European history.

I never claimed to be "flawless" ... but neither am I a hypocrite priest who
goes around doing whatever (including ignore most of the so-called "10
Commandments") I want just because I can supposedly "claim forgiveness" fromm
a mythical God on my death bed.
I am sure that your analysis is thorough and shows deep understanding.

Exactly!
Still how are the Scots doing to preserve Scottish Gaelic?

There's no percentage scale there, but Gaelic speakers are currently
about 1% of the population - and there's a question about how well

Morag's doomscrolling on Facebook.
The Maroi language here in New Zealand adds words, but often they're
simply "pigeon-English"-like reworking of the English word. For example, >>> the Maori word for a car is simply "motoka" (i.e. a corruption of

As usual these days, there is all sorts of politicall correctness
stupidity about trying to "save" the Maori language by having street
signs in both languages, ranaming government departments (twice - first
time to put the Maori version first, and again to put it second),
forcing kids to learn Maori in school, etc. The reality is that it's a
dying language for a reason, and even most Maori cannot and have no
interest in speaking it.
I'm guessing there are at least that many languages. And as the original
tribes were nomadic, there has probably been a lot of intermingling ....
of people AND languages.
So in Aus, there is English and the Aboribinal languages.
We saw thi is in DW - 4 to Doomsday.
