Moliere

         Nearly all men die of their remedies, and not of their illnesses.

to keep in mind  Moliere was comedic

                                         though what could be funnier that when he died 17 February 1673 actors had no social standing and had been excommunicated by the Church a cruel joke by a Joke

therefore no priest would hear Molieres confession 

but hadnt he truly confessed what he needed or sought to confess in his plays and writings    

he believed he had

according to French law talk about jokes Moliere also couldnt be buried in consecrated earth

King Louis XIV the Sun King le Roi Soleil interceded on behalf of Moliere and he was interred in Cemetery Saint Joseph

King Louis  Frances absolute monarch  was Molieres patron

                                                                 the kings Absolutism apparently held for Moliere

not to get lost in the weeds talking of humour being pigeonholed is a kind of perverse humour Louis the Fourteenth a king preceded by thirteen other Louises

                                          which isnt to be confused with several women who are named Louise multiple women also Louises Louises or LouisesWhat confusion? during the Age of Reason women didnt have souls  apparently or legendarily the Synod of Macon in 585 “denied that women had a soul” gee  women could share one soul

there were lusty debates humourous he thought they hairsplit homo the Latin word homo primarily means “human being” but also means “adult male”  

Johannes Leyser a Lutheran pastor got his panties in a bunch touting polygamy in his Polygamia Triumphatrix -- looks like fun  meet ya in the pantry --  “Among the holy fathers there was one who insisted that women cannot, and should not be called ‘human beings’ (viz. homines “men”).” Pastor Leyser essentially quoted St. Gregory of Tours his book The History of the Franks frankly -- humour  

                                        “There came forward at this council a certain bishop who maintained that woman could not be included under the term 'man.' However, he accepted the reasoning of the other bishops and did not press his case, for the holy book of the Old Testament tells us that in the beginning, when God created man, 'Male and female he created them and called their name Adam', which means earthly man; so, he called the woman Eve, yet of both he used the word 'man'."

                        comedic splitting hairs

apparently Moliere succeeded with the Sun King by having the good senseexhibiting good sense humour not to proselytise but rather to animate the absurd

absurd lends itself to a kind of funny

Hell it was absurd he found himself reading Molierequoting him to help him offset the stress he suffered because of his daughter and mother deaths 

                               who died because of their illnesses

                 they did not have remedies

                                                perhaps because they werent men
