Poor Barry has mistaken your usual distemper for anger. I do hope he picks up Cobbett though. It is hard to find true history when all you have been fed for hundreds of years is a web of lies. Cobbett is refreshing in that he has a completely practical approach to discerning the truth. Shocking book, very enjoyable and a must read for everyone I would say. I hope Barry appreciates true charity and picks up a copy.<BR/>God Bless<BR/><BR/>Ma TuckerAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1062692702190792942.post-75897972730326025672009-01-08T13:55:00.000+00:002009-01-08T13:55:00.000+00:00Dear Brian Barker,I'm afraid Esperanto is virtuall...Dear Brian Barker,<BR/><BR/>I'm afraid Esperanto is virtually a dead duck.<BR/><BR/>The only language that has a mite of a chance of being a universal language is Latin but it has been long abandoned by secular society, sadly.<BR/><BR/>Did you know that the Hungarian Parliament continued to conduct its debates in Latin well into the 19th century?Tribunushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17330137792269530812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1062692702190792942.post-58148065159309294002009-01-08T13:52:00.000+00:002009-01-08T13:52:00.000+00:00Dear Fred,Welcome back.Sr Chittister is a complete...Dear Fred,<BR/><BR/>Welcome back.<BR/><BR/>Sr Chittister is a completely bogus Catholic.<BR/><BR/>I agree with you about the "Votes for Vermin" but not Evolutionism.<BR/><BR/>The real Right Wingers are those atheistic evolutionists who say that man is only an animal because he evolved from animals.<BR/><BR/>These Right Wingers thus have a lot in common with the "Votes for Vermin" Animal Libbers.<BR/><BR/>It is no accident that many atheistic evolutionists are also Animal Libbers.<BR/><BR/>The only answer is to recognise that God made man in His own image and likeness, with free will and a rational soul and that man is intrinsically different from an animal.<BR/><BR/>Failure to acknowledge this has led to appalling results in the past (Nazism, Stalinism) and can do so again in the future.<BR/><BR/>So keep eating meat!<BR/><BR/>Trib.Tribunushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17330137792269530812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1062692702190792942.post-74749320670929001902009-01-08T02:51:00.000+00:002009-01-08T02:51:00.000+00:00Mmmmm-flesh!

Church's. I did write that the RC Church was not alone historically in resisting compassionate movements. But your original piece was written from an RC perspective, which is why I made comments about it. My key point was that we need to learn from our past mistakes in our approach to today's compassionate movements. I am a critic too of my own church when the context demands it. The fact is that ours are the two Churches that at various times and places have held the strings of power and have therefore had the opportunity to misuse them.<BR/><BR/>My comments seem to make you angry, judging by your current blog, and I do not therefore think the conditions are right for further profitable discussion, so I will leave it there. I will just say goodbye by wishing for you what I wish for myself: to be merciful and compassionate to all who are capable of suffering, whatever their status, and to receive mercy and compassion in my turn when I need it.<BR/><BR/>Regards<BR/><BR/>Barry MilesBarry Mileshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07062452333742019576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1062692702190792942.post-91361555194550442422009-01-06T17:26:00.000+00:002009-01-06T17:26:00.000+00:00I see that Boris Johnson, the new London Mayor wan...I see that Boris Johnson, the new London Mayor wants Latin to be taught in all London schools.
