The British have repeatedly spanked the Spanish in naval battles because British canons had superior range and could obliterate the Spanish before they got close enough to do any damage. Big guns with short range are not nearly as good as small canons with long range.
Are you saying Anglicans are bigger than Catholics?
I don't know about that. The largest dude I've seen was in Shreveport Louisiana. I was going to pick up some fried alligator and hush puppies from a small place deep in the ghetto. This dude walks out and gets into his car and the car made this sickening creaking crunching sound as he sat down. I'm genuinely shocked he was still able to walk at all. Still I knew I'd made the right choice in ordering from there.
