In an e-mail, Mr. D'Arcy said "I thought Mario a man who I respect and who is doing some good. We talked about the difference between "Social" and "Religious" opposition to the war. He did not see much difference and I tried to explain to him the difference I thought there was, namely, that for a religious person any good done must give credit to God while a "Social" justice person sees the good as strictly social in nature. A person connected with Social action can use a phrase like "F### Bush" where a religious person must see the Good in all people even George Bush.
I enjoyed it and I hope he did as well."
