Hiya, Joe. Thanks. I did wonder if anyone would get a chuckle from my writing that Morton Smith was interested in the bitter humor of J. [Jonathan] Swift, not to be confused with T. [Taylor] Swift. Three bitters! Oh well, tough crowd. ("The Influence of Arbuthnot upon Swift," by R. Morton...

He gave paleographic evidence, though. JW : He did. On a serious note Stephen, as you have noted there is a lot of circumstantial evidence that points to Smith.

The scale should be bigger. How about: House of Cardinals starring Kevin Spacey, Harvey Dubish and Stephen Carlson. Kevin Spacey is a conniving Pope and Morton Smith is his secret boyfriend. Smith is a bumbling, inspector Clumso type Bible scholar who accidently discovers the authentic Clement lette...
