I'm underwhelmed. Is he supposed to look tough, intellectual, cool, or dorky?
Thanks for the info. I will quote from it next time I find myself doing battle with the evil Minneapolis Star Tribune. : )
"But one's church is one's church, and we suffer through it and from it just as one does with one's parents and one's siblings."
On a happy note, I don't have to suffer Stan. I do not suffer Stan's gladly.
"Of course, we all know it looked the other way when Adolf Hitler and his murderous, jack-booted buffoons strode this bitter Earth."
Here we go again being reminded that the Church looked the other way during WWII, blah, blah, blah.
How many divisions did the Vatican have to fight the Nazis? How many divisions did Britain and France have when they reneged on the promise to protect Checoslovakia and Poland against an invasion by Hitler? Britain and France could perhaps have prevented WWII altogether.
What do you think would have happened to German Catholics and those in occupied countries if the Pope would have outright condemned Naziism? The slaughter would have been even worse and the Vatican would have been wiped out.
