My son, immune to such things from living over half his life under a strict, fundamentalist father, and the other half under a website building apostate, was entertained by the scene. He turned up his IPOD to filter out the noise, smiled pleasantly, and waited to see if there was more than one act in this show.

The righteous monologue continued for another 30 minutes, the guy barely pausing for air. My son eventually decided to leave the lunatic to his rapt congregation of trees, rocks, and empty benches.

The next morning in the local paper, a nearly full page article exclaimed, “Evangelistic Crusade for Christ in North Park. Crusade continues for a week.”

The article went on to interview the “local evangelist and his lovely wife.” Not surprisingly,even more. She was obviously doing her good works because she was a selfless person, not because she knew God would reward her for it.

Good works?? Humanitarian sacrifice?? The old hag was one of the biggest hypocrites/reactionaries of the twentieth century. She collected millions of dollars ostensibly for the poor, and used it to build convents and stump in various countries for anti abortion and anti divorce legislation. Her famous "hospital" in Calcutta was nothing more than a warehouse for the dying, where evangelism was the only activity worth mentioning.She supported reactionary regimes such as the Duvaliers in Haiti in return for financial support.
