i met a French Canadian on an oil rig once who hated Catholics with a venom i hadn't felt before .. why such a profound personal hate?, i asked .. he told me his mother had 7 children .. or was it 8? .. that she was having difficulty coping and that their Catholic priest visited continuously urging her to have more .. the old guys are more interested in gaining more believers .. and it's cheaper for them if they come from large Catholic families .. than they are in the welfare of the young they already have ..
It was Plato who said, “He, O men, is the wisest, who like Socrates, knows that his wisdom is in truth worth nothing”
