Making Light:  Misanthropy at the grimy end of winter ::: March 24, 2005, 08:58 PM

I'd say this week's anti-catholicism was triggered by a lawyer
explaining to a judge how the lady might have to spend time in
purgatory if they stopped her life support.  Did I get that right?
A lawyer explaining purgatory in a US Court?  Then the Pope tagged
in and started rolling around with them in the same sty.  Pretty
soon the only thing you can see is mud and crucifixes.

I was once a little catholic boy whose dad explained that people were
afraid to vote for JFK, because he might run the country under orders
from the Pope.  But I figured Kennedy was an American and would
support the First Amendment, so I wasn't afraid.  Do the Schindlers
believe in the First Amendment?  Does the Pope?  Maybe it doesn't
matter if the ones now sworn to preserve and defend the Constitution
don't.
