Talk:Apologeticus

At the time of writing, the second paragraph of this article is taken nearly in its entirety from the Catholic Encyclopedia article about Carthage. I shouldn't think this calls for a message, however, as it is but one paragraph (out of three, it should be noted) taken from an article dealing with a different subject altogether. -- Itai 01:00, 13 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Diego Rivera's "The Blood of the Revolutionary Martyrs Fertilizing the Earth"

edit

While reading Apologeticus the connection between Tertullian's phrase and Diego Rivera's mural depicting Mexican revolutionaries (La sangre de los martires revolucionarios fertilizando la tierra) struck me. I have made a note of this in the article under Reference #4. I have a suspicion the note may be deemed unnecessary and consequently removed, but, nonetheless, I think the connection should be pointed out, if for no other reason than that Rivera's mural can give the interested Apologeticus reader a modern portrait of martyrs serving as seed.
