gymnosophy - contemplation performed in the nude.

hagiarchy - government by saints or holy people

agapetae - churchwomen who live with celibate men

auto-da-fe - the burning of a heretic

collegialism - theory that church is independent from the state

synergism - belief that human will and divine spirit cooperate in salvation

there was a period of time when I was 12 where I was addicted to William Safire's "On Language" columns and I wanted to be a lexicographer.
