Unsolved Mysteries Version II

Didn't she do that with Harry earlier in the series? Or was it just an incredibly suggestive scene but no actual sex? My memory's fuzzy.

She most likely did it with Harry when he was 16 yes.

In Ghost Story, there is a reference fto Father Forthill's worn King James Bible.
The KJV isn't normally used in Catholic circles, there are 2 branches of the tree in the translations from early manuscripts.  The KJV is on one branch, and the normally used Catholic Bible - the Douay-Rheims - is on the other branch.

don't forget that an educated preacher will reference the ORIGINAL TEXT for a buncha things (the version on the pulpit will be the "Official text") also don't forget that there is a lot of cross-training with both religions (Micheal hums a decidedly Protestant hymn at one point).

MY question I guess - i why would a Catholic Priest be using the King James Version?
If he tried to preach from it, he'd have the whole Congregation up in arms right up to and including the bishop.

I love the stories.
I'm also a bible college student.

Comments?

Some of us regard this as evidence that Forthill is also a secret Venator.

This topic discusses the King James' Bible in Forthill's room. It includes knnn's Venator theory.

RE: The enchantment on the wardens' swords that allows them to slice through magic - does it only work on mortal magic, or any and all magic?

I think it works on more than just mortal magic. I am assuming this based on how Carlos' sword goes through the arm guards of Grey Cloak or Madrigal (I forget who had the arm guards). This is also under the assumption that the arm guards were not of mortal make.

What proof do we have that Harry's father was human? Ebenazar says he is mortal but we don't really know if he ever met Malcom. Yes, in Blood Rites he says something about Malcom having a good heart,

The there is the option that Malcolm was Harry's father (as in raised him) but not his biological dad. Maybe Harry's mom was already pregnant and Malcolm was so in love with Maggie that he accepted the child as his (after all, he has a good heart). It would give another spin to the story and we would have to find out who the father was and what...

Rubbish

[Ziggelly]

  That didn't sound very polite, Sydna. I guess it was more... completely unproductive. If that had been my theory, I would want somebody to put a little more thought into a debate, rather than just dismiss it as "rubbish." Rubbish just sounds kind of mean, and probably makes Anthony not want to post his theories as freely. And we're not "that" kind of forum. We should be welcoming to new members; not shooting them down.
And it's a perfectly valid theory, imho. It may be a little cliché, true, but Jim lives for clichés. So please explain to us: what's your issue with it?

Actually, I think there's a WoJ somewhere that Malcolm is Harry's father.  But maybe I'm mis-remembering.

But, still. If Sydna had known, she should've come out and said that. "Rubbish" just.. isn't nice. You know? Maybe it's just me.

Sorry - I should have quoted the post I was responding to.  My response was to Anthony, not Sydna.  I've posted too much weirdness around here myself to ever call someone else's theory "rubbish" - besides which, as you said, it's not nice.

ETA:  Fixed it now.

Thanks, for the reply/support. But it takes more to dissuade me from replying   

But, the more I think about it the more I think it makes sense. Jim Butcher likes to have us look in one direction and ignore another option. While we are thinking about his mother we forget the father (only now are we starting to discuss it: was he mortal). Same with Elaine; everybody I spoke with though she must be Black counsel/circle. Just for that, Jim Butcher will make her a good guy/neutral person...

But feel free to think of my ideas as rubbish 

[JinElusion]

Elaine just gives me a weird feeling. So does Ebenezer actually. Maybe it's just me wanting them to be his allies so badly that my sinister side keeps warning me to be prepared for a sucker punch

With Eb, my mind keeps coming back to that dinner he mentioned in Changes. I think he knows a lot more about the BC than he's telling. And that doesn't make me feel all happy and stuff.
