He was the one I meant. Were you thinking of the one sent by Pope 
Gregory to this isle of angels? The one who turned back to Rome out of 
fear of crossing France? But somehow got second wind and made it to 
Canterbury?
He's no hero of mine. But Augustine of Hippo is.

So then, has the mass changed since 400AD?
