M&D - chapter 19-21 - The Jesuits

[David Ewers]

Right on, man.  Properly address your missives in the future (accuracy!), and we won't have any misunderstandings.

I learned two new things from the original text.  The first was that the Vatican does indeed have a telescope in Arizona.  I had no idea about this fact, which was easily verifiable.  I also sort of gathered that there is in existence, somewhere today, a telescope named Lucifer.  I was raised Catholic, so frankly I doubted from the get-go that this could be a Church device (that judgment I referred to...)... but I had a hunch there was some truth in there somewhere.  Luckily, you supplied some elucidation.  That there's a a telescope named Lucifer, and another telescope named VATT, owned by the Vatican, next door?  Wow!  Talk about triangulation!  Who'da thunk it?  So thanks to the both of you.
