The current pope worsened matters considerably, and that was before they tried to bring the nuns to heel. <br /><br />As to the larger point, there are two approaches to establish Truth. One is to cite the holy scripture of one's choice, as interpreted by the clergy of one's choice. Inevitable conflicts tend not to end well. <br /><br />The other, of course, uses one's experience of the natural world together with reason. Science, in short. Much better outcomes that way. And as much as the religious zealots would like to claim the Founders as their own, they were products of the Enlightenment. <br />Now we'll see if revanchists succeed in rolling it back.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4988839706387198339.post-38508888001900461422012-05-15T16:56:26.768-07:002012-05-15T16:56:26.768-07:00Never say ever Doc!
