Arghhhhhh....thanks, ninenot. I'm reading THE HOLY ROSARY Papal Teachings (copyright 1980). Passages are "selected and arranged by The Benedictine Monks of Solesmes" and begin with Clement XIII ("1758 - 1769") through Pope John Paul II ("1978 - ).

If one removed all dates and names of popes included in this book, one would think it was published regarding events today. I guess there really isn't anything new under the sun. Not just in the Church, but in all ways, we keep repeating the same mistakes. I guess Evil never tires of testing each generation, especially when we never seem to learn from our past. Not throwing stones at the Church or anyone, especially when it seems I have to confess to the same types of sin over and over! LOL!

Sort of gives the lie to philosophies based on "progress," eh?

You know, the ones which took up the flawed 'science' of evolution and applied them to society...
