extraordinary, incomparable Christian worthy of adoration.

Of course it is Protestantism in particular which is total nonsense.

This is why Protestantism has elevated woman so high, more accurately,

A woman is proficient along this line when a man gets involved with her

incidentally has had the same experience on her side) agree to keep a
stiff upper lip and to hide things from others; the
