Dear BearWash,
I pray and hope that I have not upset you with this particular thread that I have posted. I respectfully accept your point of view, simply because I have a Pet Dog who is a variant of the Pomeranian Breed.
She is extremely intelligent although, she is quite old now.
You will find the other talks of Father Altier extremely stimulating and interesting-- Spiritually as well as Intellectually Speaking.
In The Risen Lord Jesus Christ,
No, It didn't upset me at all and I know that is not the important point of the homily. P.S. I grew up with a Pomeranian -- loved her and still dream about her!
