“Oh good. A fight! That’ll bring peace.”
Peace is the interval between the time you last stomped evil’s butt, and the time evil gets it together to attack you again.
So, yes, a fight is the only thing short of the Second Coming that can bring peace.
“But I AM going to do penance for the massively culpable way the Church south of the Rio Grande has behaved sometimes.”
It’s not always so great north of the Rio Grande, either. In the Boise diocese you could starve to death spiritually and physically before the Church would bestir itself...even before you could run one of these phantom priests to ground.
Of course, you could go to St. Paul’s Catholic center at Boise State University where Deacon Skoro teaches that “sex is the meaning of life.”
Wow, we sure didn't cover THAT in RCIA! Darn Dominicans!
