An incredible Catholic Coincidence!

This amazing coincidence connects pagan worshipers, Catholics, and the wonderful writings of J.R.R. Tolkein.  They began with “The Lord of The Rings”!  It is taken from a page by Gareth Harney @ Optimo Principi.

An Incredible Catholic Coincidence!

1) A stranger than fiction Roman ring mystery thread: this enigmatic Roman gold ring was found in a ploughed field near Silchester in 1785. The square bezel has a portrait of the pagan goddess Venus, inscribed backwards SUNEV for use as a signet ring by the owner. Curiously…

3)
… at a temple to the mysterious British god “Nodens” 80 miles away in Lydney, Gloucestershire, a lead curse tablet (defixio) was later discovered. On the tablet a man named “Silvianus” complains that his gold ring was stolen and he suspects “Senicianus” was the culprit! …
4) Silvianus deposited the curse tablet and donated at the temple half the value of his lost ring, in the hope that the gods would “permit no good health to Senicianus.” In 1929 the archaeologist Mortimer Wheeler would make a connection between this curse and the gold ring…
5) Wheeler consulted a certain young J.R.R. Tolkein, Professor of Anglo-Saxon at Oxford University, to work on the etymology of the curious deity Nodens and explore the possible connections with the enigmatic Roman gold ring…
7) We might fancifully conclude then that in the mid 4th century AD, Silvianus – a late-Roman man still clinging on to the old pagan gods, had his beloved Venus ring stolen from him by a Christian that he knew named Senicianus.  The pious thief then rededicated the pagan ring…

As we study this, what do we find?  An Incredible Catholic coincidence!  It connects pagans, Catholics, and J.R.R. Tolkein’s  great Catholic writings!

Another coincidence!   Anti-Catholics assume a Catholic stole the ring.  Catholics realize the ring was sold by the thief and ended up with the man “who lives in God”.   No Catholic would ever put “I live in God.” on stolen property!   No Catholic could ever think he could fool Jesus Christ!

Who would? A semi-Christian Arian! They denied that Jesus is The Second Person of The Holy Trinity and equal to The Father and The Holy Spirit in Power.
