At the centre of my criticism of the RC church -- or any church, really -- is the confirmation of infallibility on the very human intermediaries who claim to have a direct line to the Dear and Fluffy Lord. I wait, therefore, holding my breath, for the Pope to say 'sorry'. Wouldn't that be the coolest ever?
So, the process of questioning that began a few hundred years ago...of questioning our kings and queens, our politicians, anyone in a uniform, even our parents can be complete. It's time for us to grow up and realize that we can believe what we need to believe (whatever gets you through the night). But don't trust any other human blindly just because he or she wears a long skirt and has mastered the art of looking serious. It's time for us to use our brains.
Now, if we could only get folks to question their homeopathic practitioners....
