There's no question that there are a lot of religious people who don't question, inquire, or nose around. And a lot of clerical types who like it fine that way. And the Roaming Calflicks are no exception.
But it's everywhere.
INDEED.
It IS everywhere as I've tended to persistently note from the beginning in my postings to RC bros & sis.
They are no worse and no better than the rest of us on a list of human frailties and obsessions with respect to religion and life in general.
I suppose a case could be made that the older the tradition etc. the worse and I believe that's technically true. Entrenched stuff gets deeper and deeper ruts and grooves built up over longer periods of time.
But the net effect spiritually on the individuals is just as bad in Protestant circles from their versions of such, imho.
