The Pope awarded Carrera the Order of St. Gregory in 1854. One year after his death, coins were issued in his honor with his face and the title: Founder of the Republic of Guatemala.

I can only go so far down some of these dark roads without getting PTSD. Ive seen too much in regular abuse casesworked with at-risk children for years. The victims themselves often become predators and the many of the most promising ones are very good at it.
I have seen first-hand the effects of depravity and have no illusions regarding human nature.
