@hrcastor Like it Helen. Still wondering why you didn’t seriously probe whether or not Joan of Arc was schizophrenic or some kind of holy phenomenon. Just asking

@canibefrank2 I was describing Joan's experiences & assertions as she and her contemporaries understood them. She showed no sign of mental illness, as contemporaries understood it - and the evidence doesn't allow/support a diagnosis of schizophrenia (or epilepsy or bovine TB) 500 years later.
