Patano. You are equating the church in your country with that in England, which is unique.

You tried to lecture me on the history of my own country. That I find offensive. I'll restrict any spoiler info I have to the spoilers thread in future. Now I'm out of this thread.

Patano

EnglishLady, I've seen also other Catholic churches in other countries than Poland. I don't understand your indignation. I study English, I had a subject called History of England at university. I studied English literature too. I actually know English literature better than Polish. So, if I disagreed with you about English literature, would you find it offensive because I'm not English?

Where did I lecture you because I can't see it? When I was stating certain facts, I only wanted to bring them to the fore. I was aware that you knew them.

You may be right, of course. But they may as well not care and ignore the differences. That's all I'm saying .

I don't see why you should leave this thread. I may never speak about this topic anymore if you think I have no right to do so.

ITA. That's all I've been trying to say. And Bijou is a Catholic living in England, so I think that we may trust her ?

I'm an atheist from Germany and can't tell one church from another, but can I still be added here?
I love this bromance! Great gifs, bijou! I think they had more scenes than any other "couple" in this episode.

I'm going to risk it here, but is an actually quite fascinating historical discussion a reason to not want to visit a thread? Arguing and disagreeing is part of the world and was done in a very respectful manner anyway. If I was going to not visit any place in which someone has ever disagreed with me, I'd have very few places left where I can visit. I actually learned so much from that exhange.

Skipmaus - of course you can! welcome!

It's completely undestabdable, so don't worry about it shi fs
The most thing about this forum that I love so much is that we can discuss ANYTHING and no one is unpolite, even if we stick to our opinions

OK. I love this thread and I enjoy posting here as much as anyone else, but I'm going to have to put my mod hat on for this one.

Discussion is good, but please remember to respect everyone's opinion on the board, since we won't always agree with one another. Everyone has a right to their opinions and everyone should respect them.

Also, remember that we need to keep spoilers on this board to a minimum. Remember the Spoiler Rules Reminder!

OK. Mod hat off.

Technical writer hat on.
I think what would be helpful to illustrate your point, EnglishLady, is pictures of what you would consider to be of CoE architecture vs Catholic church architecture. Since you obviously know that there is a difference, some pictures would help to illustrate the difference you are referring to, because as they say a picture says a thousand words.

Technical writer hat off.

Fangirl hat on. (Gosh I have a whole lot of hats today, must be the onset of fall in a few days. )
Wishes: What would you like to see the brothers-in-law to accomplish before the end of S3?

I'd like to see them to support unpopular ideas for one another. I'd like to see them talk about their wives with one another. I'd just like for them to hang out with one another.

Now for some Tom/Matthew love,

Now back to your regularly scheduled programming.

Welcome to the thread!

Instant re-blog.

Thanks!

This one I always have on.

Oh lots. I'm secretly hoping S/T will take M/M as godparents of their unborn child. I still see lots of awkardness for Tom and Matthew helping him out of some sticky situations. I can definitely see Matthew running to Tom now if he has row with Mary. And I'm hoping that he gets invited to those Robert/Matthew cigar moments just to talk.


Oh Sir Anthony.

At the end of the day I think both of them want a very similar way of life and can definitely connect through that.

I thought the conversation they had about how Tom was at dinner about Ireland showed that Matthew was pretty receptive of how invested Tom is in this.

Patano

Yes, they both do not want to let the Crawleys adjust them to the traditional aristocratic way of living. The difference is that Matthew will be Lord Grantham in the future, so some changes for him are imminent. I would love to see Tom supporting him in finding balance between being an aristocrat and being himself

Thank you for all the great gifs!

Ditto this. Can I also add that besides being married to the Crawley girls, they are first married to "very high-minded wives."

They really have to stick together, otherwise I'm afraid their wives won't loose a battle with them
