A man named Pine knocks on the door of William Spooner...

Spooner opens the door and greets the man standing there, but raises the question "why have you knocked on my door?"

The man named Pine (his real name is Pinocchio, but that's irrelevant) responds, "I'm here for the free meal. You said you were hosting a buffet meal today"

Spooner looks puzzled, "You must be mistaken, I never said I was hosting a meal here..."

Pine interrupts, "But I thought there was! You even said it yourself Spooner, there was a meal here today!"

"Look I'm busy" he replies, "I've been working all morning, it's midday now and I've got a busy afternoon ahead"

"But please!" pleads Pine, "You said so, and you can't deny this... there was going to be a meal here today. Hosted by you! I mean, if you -"

Spooner cuts him off, "For the last time... There is no Lunch, Pine!"

Is the Wycliffe Bible a good translation?

Hey! This is just a really quick question: is the Wycliffe Bible a good translation by modern standards? More specifically the Wycliffe Bible with modern spelling? I usually use the NRSV and NASB, but I ran across the Wycliffe Bible and it renders some verses very differently, so I was wondering whether it’s, by modern standards, good, or if those differences are deficiencies in 14th century scholarship?

How is Wycliffe College residence?

Upon research I noticed that this college located literally in the center of UofT with fee way lower than all other residence on campus. I guess this might be attributed to its low recognition and complicate application process. I am tempted to apply for residence in it next year. Has anyone lived in there? How was your experience?

Behrad has been the most underdeveloped character. Gideon and spooner already had more character development than him.

I don't know if the actor or just the writing but he needs devolpment. Everyone got spotlight this season. But still the writers doesn't know much to do with Behrad.

Why did Martin Luther succeed where John Wycliffe and Jan Hus failed?

Before Luther wrote his Ninety-Five Theses, a couple of theologians directed fundamental criticisms at the Catholic Church. First, in the 14th century, John Wycliffe questioned the status and rituals of the clergy in England, and later, in the 15th century, Jan Hus made similar arguments. Wycliffe would be deemed a heretic, and his followers were pejoratively referred to as "Lollards." Likewise, Jan Hus was burned at the stake for his heresy. Granted, Hus' followers did respond by fighting the eponymous Hussite Wars, but they were ultimately unsuccessful. However, in the 16th century, the Catholic Church would finally meet an intractable opponent in Martin Luther. Despite incurring the ire of the Catholic Church and Holy Roman Empire, Luther's critiques would serve as the basis for the Protestant Reformation, and initiate what at that point was the greatest "thought revolution" in European history. Protestantism spread throughout northern and central Europe, even outside of Luther's native Germany. In contrast to being burned at the stake, Luther would die of natural causes as a free, venerated man. My question could be phrased in a few ways, but I think I'm basically getting at this: Why did Luther's critiques β€” as opposed to those of Wycliffe and Hus β€” become the foundation for the rupture of the Catholic Church? How was he able to evade the threats posed by the Church, and why did his ideas spread so widely and resonate so strongly? Had something about Europe changed by this point compared to the periods in which Wycliffe and Hus lived, or was there something about Luther's critiques that were fundamentally different and more appealing?
