Speculation is sometimes required, but speculation should be based upon that which is definitely real.

To the stars, we are atoms. To atoms, we are stars. There is nothing shameful in searching for that which is important to you, even if it is unimportant to others; importance is relative.

erm…yes…ALL concentration should be dedicated to what we consider real and important…rb prepares to be the oft unemployed employers nightmare…

>That’s for the most part my point. The Catholic Church stepped into a power vacuum when the Roman world was falling into chaos. Shortly after, most power returned to the secular nobility. Given power, some bad things happened. Yet I ask where in the world has the Church officially sanctioned something that would try to force anything down anything’s throat or eliminate their freedoms? (I won’t accept the abortion issue, because that’s a murder case, and similar issues are just political advocacy like anyone else) Catholics never to my knowledge pushed elimination of dancing, drinking, entertainment, gambling, state-required attendance of religious services or teaching, etc.

Is moving pedophile priests from one parish to another not a form of sanction…?...The millions the church has had to pay out for these former “dates” has been quite significant…
