hi writing on a mobile device and quickly des have issues my point is we see every thing with comunal lenses. I believe that religion is usedbonly to attain ones economic goals. I felt that the APP impled the same by saying how can any one use the bacdrop without permission etc. Clive is a good event manager ane catholic. so how can we say it has a tinge of the wrong colour it is purely an ecomomic activity where people will benefit. when the chuech was painted or lit no permission was taken so why yhe fuss now
hope I could explain the point. I apologise for being confusing. blaise On Apr 21, 2013 2:30 PM, "schubert vaz" <[email protected]> wrote: > Dear Mr Costabar, > I though away from my beloved village have some sentiments for our > ancestral church and our faith - I dont seem to understand the last > line of your letter which says 'As usual Catholics are involved, > because the religion is "money".
