Quote of the day

The Church was redeemed at the price of Christ's blood. Jew or Greek, it makes no difference; but if he has believed, he must circumcise himself from his sins [in baptism (Col. 2:11-12)] so that he can be saved. . . for no one ascends into the kingdom of heaven except through the sacrament of baptism. . . "Unless a man be born again of water and the Holy Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God"

Roger Ebert

But at least they are not intimidated. Of what use is freedom of speech to those who fear to offend?

The fact is, most people are not going to be rich someday. And we've had a concerted policy of taking money away from the poor and giving it to the rich wholesale, and at the same time, we have the runaway corporations, and the greed.
