*Lunatic*, n. One whose delusions are out of fashion.
I knew this place well, both my favourite library and my former workplace were just a block away (and my university three blocks away). Now the firewall disappeared behind an ugly office tower. The builders of the latter were speculants (there was no real demand for office space), who also bought the -- protected -- building behind it (the one with the famed firewall), and 'let' construction work damage it fatally, so that it could be torn down and also replaced by new construction. But there was such outrage that they had to at least reconstruct the old façade. That and various construction deficencies put them in bankrupcy, new owners couldn't do anything with the new building, so it stands empty for years now... *Lunatic*, n. One whose delusions are out of fashion.
When Protestantism spread, it found fertile ground in different parts of what was left of the Kingdom of Hungary (this was after the Ottoman invasion). Chiefly in Transsylvania, which already had a history of widespread hereticism (bogumils, arianism), and then had many Calvinists, and then was actually the source of Unitarianism. there were more Lutherans in the Austrian-held Northern part (today Slovakia), but the Habsburg rulers' (often bloody) recatholisation efforts decreased Protestant numbers.
In today's Hungary, according to the last (2001) census, 55% called themselves Catholic, 15% Calvinist, 3% Lutheran (note though that for many this is only cultural identifier -- you had Catholic baptism, Catholic family --, not actual belief). Hungary's second-largest city Debrecen (incidentally, also Fidesz's strongest base), near the Romanian border, is their main centre.
I note one of my grandfathers was a Calvinist (who married a Catholic). *Lunatic*, n. One whose delusions are out of fashion.
