Chris, great article and really "right on" in your analysis. I was a Catholic missionary in Japan for many years and I would concur. By the way, glad to know the Rice Patrol is still alive and well. Shalom!

If they are loyal why don't they return? It's easy to be loyal when you are not a victim!

Posted in: Pope blesses ground zero in NYC, praises American church See in context
"Blessed are the peacemakers for they will be called children of God." Why is it so hard to believe that God ia all about peace? It is the human person that perverts God's since of justice and peace. God for the pontiff - perhaps one of the few sane and responsible religious leaders of our time. I suspect he sees that place as another example of man's inhumanity to man- similiar to the Nazi death camps, the genocide in Africa, etc. Peace upon us all!

Posted in: Pope meets with victims of clergy sex abuse See in context
I suggest that all of you who point the finger at any religion's history do so across the board. Let's begin with Islam and continue forward. At least the Pope recognizes a sin when he sees one and is willing to begin the process of healing and conversion. A good lesson for all of the world especially those whose lives are rooted in selfishness and belong to "the church of what's happening now." Peace to all.
