So in fact, the various Buddhist charitable organizations in Asia have done far, far more charitable work than any Christian organization, and all without killing too. Pretty amazing, eh? Vorkosigan |

Not to mention the millions of men and women who have dedicated their lives to God's service over the centuries, while living in abject poverty, and the convents and monestaries that shielded Jews during WWII. Remember we all live in history. We make judgements in the moment based on what we see and how we evaluate with the limitations of our faith and understanding. We can all rewrite history once we know the outcome. Gemma Therese |

Gemma has succeeded in getting us into yet another digression. We should be discussion those priestly child molesters. I guess many Roman Catholic are desperate because they or their colleagues might be prosecuted for child molestation of for failing to report child molestation.
That's why Gemma and Amos have been asked to do everything they can to introduce digressions. |
