Madness

Today the world, or at least our nation, feels as if it has descended into madness. The man whom the RC Church refused to bury was finally buried over the weekend from St. Paul's Episcopal Cathedral in San Diego. In the mantime the RC Church has apparently issued a warning against parishioners reading "The Da Vinci Code". Not only is the book a work of fiction (though people constantly ask me what parts of it are true), but it is a thrilling, fanciful exploration of the sorts of things people of faith find fascinating. How dull is the Church to try to shut down, rather than encourage, our hunger to go on these journies of what no one, not even the Pope, can know this side of the grave?

Any time anyone poses as having bottled reality, that person is in serious error. No matter who.
