Or, admit that this post is actually good news and comment about that. (I admit to using your own basic language from another post.)

Interesting that, absent this attempt at derailing the post, there have been 4 recommendations but no other comments.

I understand that for some few here, any positive news about religion is considered to be a negative outcome. Sad when we cannot recognize areas of common agreement, is it not?

My parallel reply counters your post. The Roman Catholic Church does good things and bad things. All while pretending to worship a deity. Nothing new about that. Humans have been doing that since they invented their first deities.

As I said, your reply avoided the good news, because it is good news. So why did you avoid any comment on the good news?
