In the 13th century, Pope Gregory IX issued an unusual decree, one saying that baptisms with X
(instead of water) were not valid.Since according to the Gospel teaching, a man must be born
again of water and the Holy Ghost, those are not to be considered validly baptized who have
been baptized with X.
Apparently this had happened in a region of Norway where water had not been available. The
Holy Father had to write to the Archbishop of Trondhjem in Norway to settle this matter – literally
to settle the sacramental matter. Though modern science studies shows that X is at least 90%
water, and experts don’t agree on what minimum molarity of water is required for water
to remain water. So the “actual” distinction between X and water is, in “truth”, nothing but an
arbitrary logocentric convention imposed by the hegemonic elite that controls the dominant
semantic discourse.
So give me X which was once used as a baptizing element .

passage of time.

perfect and crisp that compared another giant from the industry whom Woo gave tribute through

run (I like that sound, it's very soothing to me) and I'd play. In the dark. “
