Think. Be skeptical of anything someone tells you. Ask questions and
demand answers. Then follow up the answers you get with some research
of your own. No matter who they are, if they're charged with making
momentous decisions, stand up straight; do not repair from holding
their feet to the fire. Whether it's President Obama, or a US
representative or senator, or a priest or a bishop or a minister or a
pope . . . they're all human beings, just like you and I. And no one
has a personal conduit to any deity that you and I do not also
have in exactly equal measure. No more than do you or I, do they know what God wants . . . of any of us. Some may claim to have spoken to God, but no one can give you evidence he or she has truly heard from God. Any god. Question. Challenge. Then question some more. Truth does not flinch under fire. And that is the truth. Can you handle
it?
By the way, the Magdalene Asylums were in operation until at least
1996! 1996!!! And were they closed because of some epiphany, some Road
to Damascus enlightenment? They were closed because the widespread
advent of electric washers and driers through most of the world where
the asylums operated made economically obsolete intense hand labor.

PS: The evil allegations surrounding Sodom and Gomorrah have even less
substantive evidence behind them than do those that have smeared
Mary's name. Indeed, there has been found not a single rock or a pottery shard or crude implement or anything else that is
archeological proof positive either community ever existed. Next Page 1 | 2
