and to try to be clear about this -- I truly do not at all saddle or conflate my view of you or of any other individual Catholic (such as my father, who was a genuine good guy whom I loved dearly) with my view of the Church itself as a shamelessly and irredeemably evil institution that has made and continues apace making its own horrifying and unforgivable history, and which accordingly has fully earned and richly deserves nothing but utter contempt
your thoughts are welcome here anytime -- nobody here has to agree with me, on this or anything else
