Bonus Ep 72 - The Name of the Rose 6: The Inquisition Strikes Back
🕑 Added 2024-10-18 12:00:07 +0000 UTCpatrons, we're back with part 6 of our book club series on Umberto Eco's The Name of the Rose, which covers Day Five. this time, we finally get to the big theological disputation, which quickly turns into a giant monk wrestling match, Severinus the herbalist is murdered in a way that satisfies the Seven Trumpets theory, and the evil Bernard Gui manipulates events so expertly that he gets someone to confess to all the murders at the abbey and to implicate a widespread Dolcinian heresy in hiding. that's right, things are going from bad to worse for Adso and William but there's one ray of hope left: Bernard's scheming doesn't really resolve any of the issues and so the murder investigation must continue next time.

Oh! as in onocentaur not pygocentaur! i was wondering bc medieval minotaurs are weird. also Eleanor im 100% for her being in a palace in Avignon. but like the cardinals aint gonna be crowning her heir or peter steward of christ. also a bishop should be in their diocese, if anything to show their regard for their congregafoon
