You are not going to change the 'Catholic Church'! It has never, ever been changed. When all else changes, has ups and downs, good times and hard times, war and peace...cycles through history over and over again, and in the same pattern...with death, and new growth, and life, and light and darkness...the 'Catholic Church' has always stood apart in that it just does not change. It never loses it's power, it's money, it's influence, and it's tradition. You may want to read Mark Sashine's recent diary entry: Racism at it's Worst. (It's just always the same) My point is not for you to give up. What I am trying to say is, that you look at your work from a different angle, because by changing perspective, you get a whole new and different picture. You are educating the Public; you are making, and keeping, and forcing the public's awareness of the problem, the resistance, and the dangers that continue to be present. You prevent people from falling asleep, from forgetting, from denying, from acceptance. That is a huge accomplishment on your part, and perhaps the most important work you can do. You may never know for sure just how much of a difference you are making, but I think you are. Everything you do affects the greater system, and changes every part of it.....as much as those creeps do, but in the opposite direction. Your spirit shines through. XXX Katrin
