Nice swipe. I shall turn the other cheek. My children have the same ultimate authority as do yours. My children, being raised Catholic, are told that they can eat the flesh of their authority and drink his blood and that will enrich their lives and souls. I find that most disconcerting that anyone would think symbolic or actual cannibalism/ vampirism would bring them closer to God. I long for them to know the truth and can't wait for the day they realise it. > On 1 Apr., 15:30, Pat <[email protected]> wrote: > > > > > On 25 Mar, 23:55, archytas <[email protected]> wrote: > > > > Have we become almost completely degenerate in terms of hiding routine > > > wrongdoing by people in authority?
