It's fair to sa...One of your finest, Danusha! <br /><br />It's fair to say that no other group has had a more positive influence on humanity, physically, intellectually as well as spiritually than has the Catholic Church. I've winced for years at every sling and arrow cast at the Church. "The evil men do live long after them, while the good is oft interred with their bones" I believe is appropriate. Absolutely, the Church is not without warts but those warts definitely do not define the Church as so many would have us believe.<br /><br />The fact that there is an emerging reevaluation of the Church, dispelling the centuries-old lies and examining the profound impact it has had toward the betterment of mankind is reason for hope, particularly when it comes from unlikely sources. I had the privilege of visiting the Vatican a couple of years ago and, even as a lifelong Catholic, I found it the most breathtaking experiences of my life. Even my wife, who's not Catholic, shared in my awe.<br /><br />Thank you, dear Danusha, for your untiring, yet objective defense of our Church. I must read this book. The last book I read on Catholicism was "Salvation is from the Jews", written by a Jewish convert to Catholicism and it renewed my beleaguered faith in my Church. This book seems to hold the same promise.Dale Weekshttp://theweeksreview.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
