  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

I had no idea what you were writing about in your OP, but I gather that GD Mansi was an 18th century Italian prelate and historian who composed a massive work on the church councils up to time if the following Wikipedia entry is correct.

Giovanni Domenico Mansi - Wikipedia

I don't know if this next link is any use. It appears to be a bonafide e-book site, and you may be able to download it free. BUT you have to join first. I wasn't interested enough to bother, and didn't want to take the risk.

If you want to pursue it further that's up to you. Likewise I can't guarantee it's been translated into English, but I suppose someone out there made the effort.

Thanks for this. I have a friend who should be able to get a copy of Tanner (the contemporary Mansi) out of Notre Dame's library for me. I'll be seeing him Thursday, but if I need to before then or he hasn't gotten it yet, I'll give this a try.

The original post is about a section of the Second Council of Constantinople, which I need to read in Greek. Mansi edited a text with it in it, but the scan of the Greek cannot be read (at lest by me, maybe someone more fluent could pick out which letter is which).
