No, no, no.  You've got some things mixed up a little. 

Let me help.

Trinity's just fine.  

And remember, the only favor I'd like, is if you didn't do me any favors.

The Holy Trinity is omniscient, ever present, ever at the ready to vanquish evil in all its forms.  It cannot be deated.  Many have tried.  All have failed.

Don't believe that drivel.

Must I really do this again?  

I wrote a paper on Joan of Arc in college, that's all I'll say on that, though I'm no expert.  

I do know why she was burned at the stake and it wasn't because she was a witch.  It was for so many reasons really.  One of the huge problems they had was how she dressed as a man, another that she presumed to know God's will or God's Grace, that was considered heretical, not to mention how heroic and triumphant she was in so many ways.  

It is complicated so much more to her, but she did foil them in so many ways, even though she was a peasant:

Question:

Do you know whether or not you are in God's grace?

Joan:

If I am not, may God put me there, and if I am, may God so keep me. I should be the saddest creature in the world if I knew I were not in His grace.

And one of my favorites:

Joan: (to her inquisitor)

"You say that you are my judge; I do not know if you are: but take good heed not to judge me ill, because you would put yourself in great peril. And I warn you so that if God punish you for it, I shall have done my duty in telling you."

I really, pardon the pun, don't relish the idea of going round in "circles".

Let me put it in a nutshell for you.  Was she burned at the stake:  Yes  Was it because she was a witch:  NO

And surprisingly and coincidentally, St. Joan of Arc is one of Edwige's heroine's too, the Queen of Punk, lol.  No surprise really though.

In certain respects, the Salem Witch Trials were Joan d'Arc, redux.  Accuse some poor scullery wench of being a "witch," submit her to a "test" designed to establish her guilt or innocence, drown her, then proclaim her to have been Satan's handmaid because she failed the "test."

Judge, jury, executioner.  Sounds suspiciously like some modern-day discussion boards, doesn't it?

Yes, because there's no tellin' what some will do.

Oh, wait, maybe there is some telling?

Some folks are only capable of telling the truth when they're protected from the scrutiny of people other than their friends.  They need a secret enclave in which to confess their darkest sins.  A confessional presided overy by a priestly pedophile?  No, not exactly.  More like a primal scream room populated with other thieves and sinners.

Embrace the Trinity, all ye who seek truth.  Unerring is the word, and deed, of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost.

Sed libera nos amalo, pater in coeli.
