Now that should get them thinking ... if not talking... (Main Forum)

Thanks for that Vynette. That ought to stir up a bit of discussion on Catholica. I need to mull on it a bit myself but ... but I will return. Very interesting perspectives though from my quick glance through it. It'll be greeted with dead stoney silence everywhere outside Catholica though (except in the naked steeple dancing priest's website). The early ancients wrote the equivalent of fairy tales to help "the simple folk" get their heads around these great mysteries of life and death. Today — and even those quotes you gave from official sources — illustrate how the fairy tale over time becomes transformed into the dogma and today we have the situation where if anyone attempts to explore the mythology of the Fairy Tale they are likely to be condemned to the fires of hell! What a wierd, circular world it all is?

(We've got to go off for a meeting regarding Amanda's new direction so our contributions to Catholica during the day are likely to be non existent. We'll be back this evening.)
