I entirely agree on your Knives Out point, hence why I said I was deliberately breaking my own rules (it was so damn good, I couldn't bear to leave it out).

As for The Name of the Rose, regarding the celibacy thing, I've always found it odd that priests were forbidden to marry (whenever that was) as the Bible seems to instruct the opposite (in 1 Timothy Chapter 3, which lists qualifications for church leadership).
