    The evidence suggests a reality other than that related here. The memory of the attempted rigging of Synod 14 had not dispelled; indeed it was augmented by some content of a recent book by Cardinal Da

    Isn't great to observe who the "new" dissenters now are. Brendan is right "what goes around, comes around" but only because of Francis. How I pray for his good health and long life!

    Anne (7) I have read your message. Many thanks and I hope you are well. How can 70 year celibates grasp the story of your life - and so many similar ones!?

    Thanks, John, for stimulating this discussion. I have not seen Kevin McNamara’s article, but I am inclined to agree that it is not so much a matter of any “intrinsic malice” in artificial contra
