Hey Douglas Dmitri Mosier, or whoever, I no longer have Latin - TopicsExpress



          

Hey Douglas Dmitri Mosier, or whoever, I no longer have Latin texts, grammars, or primers, so give me some help here with the following excerpt: In its place was introduced a corrupted, perverse and wicked theology based on the notion that an entire temporal existence was one of perpetual penance (from the 13th C Latin poenitentia itself from the Latin phrase poen(a)+it(a)+en+tia(e) meaning “The tiara (Roman Pontiff) thus now controls punishment”) controlled by the Roman Pontiff. Thus penance no longer became an action of self learning, knowledge and honesty, but pain, punishment and subjugation. Is the author engaging in falsehood? Isnt poenitentia merely a typical example of derivative noun form in Latin? Poena being the main noun.
