Tertullian always had a dragon's tongue.
After his conversion and baptism, he would unleash his fiery rhetoric on heretics, pagan emperors, and persecuting powers. In the process, he would pen some of the finest Latin theology of the early 3rd century.
But over time, this dragon would lose its wits. If you've ever wondered why, of the many early church fathers, Tertullian was one of the few denied the title of Saint, wonder no more.
John is still sick, and it shows (sorry he sounds like a cartoon character with the flu). But hey, the gang's all here, and that includes YOU! Wow.
