[Mrs. Don-o]

It's common under any and every system of legislation to have laws which are good and wise in themselves, but are misapplied because of ignorance, negligence, malice, or corruption.

So it goes with the laws of the Church as well as the State. That is not an argument against the basic soundness of the law. It is an argument against the frailties of men, of those who administer the law, of human nature: ignorance, negligence, malice, corruption.

Very prudent. You are wise, Mrs. Don-o
