Hi archytas and others! (Are we now in our own 'Great Leap Forward'?) We may very well be leaping forward, not because we want to leap forward, but because if we do not leap we will be pushed to jump anyhow; So, I hope that our leaders wake up and see where they are leading us, the modern world needs some rules adjustment and these adjustment will come soon or later, therefore, it would be better for our leaders to start looking for what needs to be done. Talking about religious matters it is obvious that they do not work the way they used to work in the past. Of course in the past religious scandals were known only where they happened, so people still could have faith in the rest of their religious leaders. But nowadays scandalous news or any news travel very fast, so, the entire world knows what happens in no time at all. So, I am waiting to see the day, when the pope with the rest of the Roman Catholic Church leaders wake up and find the courage to call a meeting, so that, they may discuss what needs to be done to fix these problems. My personal views are that the priests should be allowed to marry and whoever commits any sexual sins should be removed from priesthood, this might help solve the existing paedophilia problem. May God help them to see the light! My regards Manfraco
