Colleagues, It is becoming a bit difficult to be clear about who said what in an increasingly convoluted set of posts. However, I am at a total loss to understand how anyone could possibly arrive at a view that I was seeking censorship on the issue of saints. Indeed I am not, don't say so, and have never believed in censorship. In my related posts on the theme in question, all I wanted was a broadening of the theme or leaving it aside for a while as it seemed to have got into a rut, and was going nowhere while there were so many other issues which could be discussed as others have suggested. As an aside and as a challenge, I was hoping there would be some informed take on "do we need saints and what for?". I therefore would dearly welcome some knowledgeable comment on this aspect of my question at least, and on the specific concept of sainthood as distinguishable from saints.
The clich� that there is always a button to switch off discussion, is now worn incredibly thin and become vacuous. Surely, on Goanet, we are all capable of a much better approach, through more persuasive, sophisticated, informed, in-depth discussion than the lightweight populist notion of censorship which gets thrown in from time to time.
