Cardena Perpetua
[edit]Seeing as Cardena Perpetua does not have its own Wikipedia page, I have added a redirect from Cardena Perpetua --> Cardena Temporal. if cardena perpetua does prove important enough to have its own page then the redirect can be removed.

Etymology
[edit]While the "perpetua" part is technically correct, it misses the point: The punishment is perpetual, everlasting, neverending. Cf. e.g the phrase "perpetuum mobile" or the etymology of perpetual (http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?term=perpetual). Continuous, at least in modern standard use is unlikely to be the meaning implied by "perpetua". 94.220.251.231 (talk) 22:46, 16 December 2009 (UTC)
