Subject: RE: BS: The Pope in America
Not a problem for me. However, you can't really gloss over the fact that the major world religions and the factions among them have different sets of "truths" that are often at odds with one another. Most people who espouse those of the Catholic Church do so because their parents were Catholic, in the scheme of things a complete accident. Had you been born to Muslim parents in Tehran, you'd probably be espousing certain "truths" that are fairly hostile to Catholic ones. Some of you could be right, or you could all be wrong, but you can't all be right. But what you are is, for most people, an accident. That should inform what you tell your children, otherwise it simply isn't honest.
