I am not Roman Catholic so I think it is fair that it cannot be implied, inferred, etc. I am not just dogmatically following a religious leader. Regardless, interesting quote. I am sure 086 will take exception, and slur things two, maybe three different ways. Also believe much of this is also in play with the divisions in our US society.
have a great day in paradise.
“"There is a self-hatred in the West that can be considered only as something pathological. The West attempts in a praiseworthy manner to open itself completely to the comprehension of external values, but it no longer loves itself; it now only sees what is despicable and destructive in its own history, while it is no longer able to perceive what is great and pure there."
-- Pope Benedict
