my provincial students

For my speaking/listening class in ESL, students have to watch television or listen to the radio and report on what they heard. One student writes:

"This news program talked about an unknown private collector invited a French epigrapher to examine a limestone box with Aramaic inscription "James son of Joseph brother of Jesus.". . . The scientists believe that the box could be a archaeological reference to Jesus of Nazareth, lord of the Catholics."

Perhaps, in addition to a lecture about how Chinese people are not evil, I need to introduce the concept of "Protestant."
