[A CA Guy]

“His holiness is grateful for the thoughtful gesture and for the feelings which it evoked, hoping for an always more fruitful activity in the service of young generations and the spread of genuine human and Christian values,”

The book EVOKED these feelings.

You aren't going to be able to fix this one.

“His holiness is grateful for the thoughtful gesture and for the feelings which it evoked”

The book EVOKED these feelings.

You aren't going to be able to fix this one.

The only thing completely broken here is your reading comprehension.

The feelings were evoked by "the gesture of the gift", not the contents of the book.

There is no indication in the letter that the book was read at all.

In fact there is nothing in the letter that is specific to the recipient whatsoever, it doesn't even contain the word "book" -- it is a totally generic gift response form letter.

The letter provides no commentary on the contents of the book whatsoever.

Don't you feel really silly for getting outraged over a generic form letter response to a gift, which doesn't actually say anything you said it does?

Maybe this experience will help prevent getting duped in the future by lying titles from leftist publications
