I heard a nice song, used to have it on a home made tape, sort of a talking song.

It went something like this, but with sung refrains.

Once there was a king, who wanted to find out if there was a truly good man in his kingdom. So he sent his servant out to find a really good man.

The servant went to the churches, the schools, the monasteries - looking for a really good man. He searched and searched.

Finally he came back to the king, and said, My lord, I cannot find a truly good man. Every man had some bad in his heart.

So the king asked another servant - to find a truly bad man.

The servant searched through the prisons, the hospitals, the streets - and could not find a truly bad man. He told the king - even the worst man had a little good in him.

The moral of this story, the moral of this song, is the good man finds the good in all, and the bad man finds only the wrong.

It’s not a question of whether the Marxist has any good in him. It’s whether he can reasonably be considered a “good person” while actively promoting something as perfectly evil and murderous as Marxism has proven to be.

Take Bergoglio’s comments and replace the word “Marxist” with “Nazi”. Are we having a different conversation? If so, why?
