the key words are not capitalized, it was not the NAME of a library, even
back then, but just a descriptive phrase. Since these books were burned,
they cannot have been what you were quoting from. There is no such source as
"The Congressional Library", and we have no authentic writings of Pontius
Pilate; official or otherwise.
