Fr. Gerard Deighan writes:
Were you aware that 666 is the sum of the numbers from 1 to 36, and that 36 is, of course, the square of 6? Hence 666 is an essentially 'sixy' number. And since 6 is the number of imperfection, falling one short of 7, 666 is a cumulatively imperfect, and therefore evil, number.
