It is well-known that the origins and historical background are in dispute. So what? The point of Rita's post was to suggest some meanings behind a well-recognized tune, and she succeeded. Unless you can prove (with documented, validly-recognized sources) that your suggestions are factual, why should we believe you, and not her?<BR/><BR/>By the way, you call yourself a "Born-again Christian disciple attending a Bible-believing and Bible-practicing Catholic church." What is that? If you're a Catholic, have the courage to say so. If you're not, don't call yourself a "fellow Catholic" in your posts, despite the church you attend. If you really knew Catholicism well enough to go around criticizing other people's blog posts, you should know that Catholicism is "Bible-believing" and "Bible-practicing", and therefore there'd be no reason to single out your church as unique. <BR/><BR/>The Catholic Church is the ultimate "Bible Christian" Church. You call yourself a Catholic, and don't know that??Batjacboyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02500802356822661459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7010189628220740145.post-30593598927101443482008-12-24T22:36:00.000-08:002008-12-24T22:36:00.000-08:00As a fellow Catholic, I'm not one to pop other Cat...As a fellow Catholic, I'm not one to pop other Catholic's balloons. Its a great story, but seems an urban myth as none of the "catechism" is distinct to Catholics only and is equally true for Anglicans and Lutherans.<BR/><BR/>The melody is known to be of French origin. The lyrics are an English memorization and forfeits game. The 12 stanzas just as likely refer to the 12 months of the year as to any catechism. For example, 5 gold rings can easily refer to May, the fifth month reknown for marriages. See?<BR/><BR/>God bless... +TimothyTimothyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06992217665437521336noreply@blogger.com
