Poverty - anywhere - equals Christian hypocrisy - everywhere.

I have thought deeply upon this, for it is unsettling. The implications are immeasurably vast, nakedly apparent, and...well...simply appalling.

I wish the new Pope would just come out and say it, instead of beating around the bush...but it would be difficult, I suppose, to do so from his palace...no humility in that...

Have to share this with you -

We just finished watching one of the most astonishing movies I have ever experienced - low budget movie, to be sure, but nonetheless amazing story, told very well.

It's Jerome Bixby's "The Man From Earth." It's science fiction, but not because special effects or the setting, but because of the subject matter involved.

If you have some time, check it out, I found it on Netflix...think I'm going to watch it again myself...
