I named my blog after Lucius Quinctius Cincinnatus -- A Roman consul who served only long enough to save his Republic before returning to his farm. Cincinnatus was the inspiration for the Order of Cincinnatus, to which George Washington and Lafayette and many other American Patriots were members. Omnia relinquit servare rempublicam - He relinquished everything to serve the Republic.

Results of the "Guess the headline" poll are in
The real headline was, "A bishop in the southern Philippines reported receiving a letter threatening him with harm if he does not convert to Islam or pay "Islamic taxes." From the Union of Catholic Asian News. My readers are all so smart. Although one of you, not so much. But, I'm going to assume you just chose German Baptists to be funny, because if you think German Baptists go around threatening people uh, you'd be wrong. From Wikipedia, Anabaptists, which is what German Baptists spring from "inspired a whole generation of Christians to follow the way of Jesus into social action and peacemaking." They are peaceful, not the peace of death like Islam, but the peace of life. But, I can see were the word German might throw some of you.
