Ninety percent of the firemen and ninety-five percent of the cops who died on 9/11 were Catholic. Ever see the pictures of hundreds of firemen with heads bowed, receiving absolution from a local priest, before heading into the building, where they died?
The exclusion of religion from the ceremony is spitting on the graves of the men who gave their lives. I would like to see G.W. Bush have the courage to withdraw from this event.
Good post. We shall see what happens.
NOMINALLY Catholic. My home state, and particularly my frequent city of resident, are quite secular now.
