Sorry, pirate. I misspoke.
Did you study the Protestant Reformation in school?
Looks like History might have been a gap.
p.s. They're giving you a hard time about the "Madonna" thing, because Madonna is the name of the famous female rock/pop singer, and also a name that means Mary, the mother of Jesus Christ. So they're teasing you.
I noticed. I thought of Madonna the singer. I didn't know it also meant that.
To be honest, I don't really care, I have had enough teasing, to know that that is just how people are and why let it get to me... I'm HAPPEE. Hehe. :P

No, I don't even know what a protestant is.
I studies in Religous studies, Islam and in RMPS, abortion, capital punishment, ethics and morals. In Philosophy, I studied ethics again, Bentham, Mill, Kant, Plato, Satre (utilitarianism), Socrates and some greek mythology stuff.
So really the only religions I have studied in School are Islam and Christianity, but have studied on my own a little about Sikhism, Hinduism and tried to read about on tao ism. But most things I know is discussions with my mum, who studied religion very deep that some forces or something made things stop them or something.
People really shouldn't be too hard on you. You are what you are, and you know what you know. I doubt too many here were well versed in World Religions and Religious History as teenagers, either.

I can discuss complex maths and theory, philosophical ideas and domestic abuse. I came here partially following others from another forum, partially out of curiosity and partially to learn. I do not know the facts of some things and can only share my ideas and experiences, but I am learning and I know way more about Mormonism on this forum that before.

There is nothing in this pile of text that makes any sense to me. Perhaps someone would consider telling me what it means?

I don't think you even have to study the Reformation specifically. Probably any Western Civ 101 (well probably 102) will make mention of Luther because of the Reformation's ramifications religiously, politically, and militarily in Europe from the 1500s onward.
The British educational system makes me scratch my head. But I'm sure they think we got a wierd system as well.

1) Martin Luther's first act to draw ire from the Catholic Church was when he nailed 95 Theses (arguments) he had with the Catholic Church to the door of a Catholic Church (basically a public act of insurbordination by a Priest).
2) He translated the German Bible from Hebrew (because he had serious problems with the Latin Vulgate which was translated from the Greek Septuagint).
3) He really pissed off the Pope (he was in hiding for a number of years--he did his translation while in hiding). His objections led to another schism in the Catholic church where Protestants broke off from the Catholic Church.

It's just a play on word--"theses" and "feces."
That is, Martin Luther is famous for posting his "95 theses" to the door of a Catholic church listing all the things he didn't like about the Catholic Church and wanted changed.
Bond is just making a joke about someone else here doing that with the Mormon Church, only posting poop instead of propositions.
Does that make sense?

And how old were you when you took Western Civ 101 or 102?
