Christ said to change the bottle with the new wine.

There are those who change the wine but keep the bottle.

One simply has to look at the past 500 years to see the success of the latter's efforts.

And yet the new wine in a new bottle will triumph. We have that promise.

"And no man putteth new wine into old bottles; else the new wine will burst the bottles, and be spilled, and the bottles shall perish. But new wine must be put into new bottles; and both are preserved. No man also having drunk old wine straightway desireth new: for he saith, The old is better." -- Luke 5:37-39.

It's not.

1. You have chosen the freeper handle "Dr. Eckleburg."

2. Dr. Eckleburg is a character in F.Scott Fitzgerald's "Great Gatsby." -- Fitzgerald was an apostate alcoholic.

3. (F. Scott Fitzgerald) was born and reared a Catholic, and he had a cousin, Thomas Delihunt, who was a Jesuit priest and whom, in 1924, the fully apostate Fitzgerald would still list beside Theodore Roosevelt and Garibaldi as one of his heroes.

4. I see a Jesuit connection, Dr.Eckleburg!!
