and while i'm at it... i have a saying..."once a catholic always a catholic".. at least i was not bombarded as a kiddy with dogma and the fear of "god", hell and all that hullabaloo
i made a deliberate choice at 7 to study all religions... beginning with christianity. my point...the dogma that is shoved down the throats of Catholics is absurd... they held mass in latin till the 70's... and tell the poor to breed life flies..( that's to keep their numbers up!) for christ sake..how insane.. pompous old men in dresses and fancy hats waving incense and taking mumbo jumbo saying that i love thomas merton...a catholic monk!!!!! dogma and rules are not ZEN!..rise above! who am i pointing the finger at? is it you? rise above Merle www.wix.com/merlewiitpom/1
