Get used to it, dude... sooner or later you're going to realize that not
everyone comes from your point of view. There's probably very few things
anybody could say that would not offend somebody.

I don't celebrate Hanukkah, but if somebody who does, comes up to me and
wishes me a Happy Hanukkah, I'll take it in the spirit I believe it to be
intended, thank them appropriately, and be on my way.

If you take offense at everything people say that doesn't jive with your
philosophy, you're in for a lonely life.

I've never seen "Iesu" in any Latin liturgy.

Do you know that there is no "J" in Greek too? The Greeks pronounce
"Dianna" as "Janna." And if the Greeks has "Jesus," then do you think the
Greeks would have spelled it as "Die Zeus?"

In Greek it's Iesous (pronounced "ee-ay-soos").

I know nothing about liturgical Latin. The classical Latin spelling is
"Iesu," just as the classical Latin spelling of "Julius Caesar" is "Iulius
Caesar."

The Greek spelling (in English characters) is "Iesous."

For both the Greek and Latin spelling, see, for example,
http://www.pfrs.org/jewish/hr09.html

However, this is dramatically off-topic in these Windows newsgroups, and so
this will be my last contribution to the thread.

It is very interesting, I did not know that 'till now.

And I just found out that MVP means Melinda's Venerable Priests.

I reviewed my Latin last night and found out that there is "J" in Latin.

". . . judicare vivos et mortuum, cujus regni non erit finis . . ."

And because it is Christmas Eve, do you know that the most solemn part of
the Catholic mass during Vatican I , was found in "Credo" and not in
"Sanctus."

" . . . et incarnatus est de spiritu sancto, ex Maria virgini et home factus
est . . ."

" . . . and he was incarnated by the holy spirit, through a virgin named
Mary, and was made man . .

Merry Christmas to every one!
