Thanks, Whistle Stop, although I am not a Christian, either.

Mbo, I hear you. The Episcopal Church is very active that way, too. I am sorry, though, I personally, find the Catholic Church to be hypocritical and archaic in a lot of its strictures. I know change has to come from within and I am glad there are people like you and the Padre you mention who are working for that change.

I just hope everyone who is Christian and does NOT agree with the Religious Right, will GET OUT AND VOTE AGAINST THEM in every election possible, because that is where the need is very critical, IMO.

Thanks,
