Yes, Brian Jacques was Catholic, as he said in one of his interviews. And Maudie, I'm Anglican and I can name hundreds of differences between Anglican and Catholic! I'd say it's closer to Baptist.
True. High Anglican services can seem very Catholic-like, but a lot of very fundamental beliefs of the two denominations are very different.

Anyway, this is not the place for religious discussion! I think the different euphemisms that vermin and good beasts had for dying was just due to their natures. Vermin might say "hell gates" because it's more in their nature to be crude and evil, and good beasts might say "dark forest" or "sunny slopes and quiet streams" because it's more in their nature to say nice things like that.

In one of the books, an Abbey Champion says something about there being a place in Dark Forest being reserved for liars and muderers. I always imagined Hellgates as being the way into that part. In contrast, the Dark Forest Gates are often spoken of. I imagined them as the gates into the part for goodbeasts.

What's a Ditto? I think the Dark Forest is supposed to be hell. I don't mean anything bad here but I was just stating.

When someone says 'ditto', they mean 'the same' or 'the same to me/for me'.

Aaahhh. I thought it was some kind of insult. Surely sounds like one.

Dannflower Reguba

Hmmm. I thought it meant something else.

You wouldn't. Trust me. I know you wouldn't. It's not anything bad. It's just you don't see the world in my eyes.
