A curious amount of anti-RCC commentary.  The Church, like other "institutions",  is filled with human beings - flawed, imperfect, inclined to sin.  But most of us are working on getting better, and stopping the sinning.  Still, we fail sometimes. -----Re: "open borders", 'tis a problem, mixed bag - none of us really wants to be crucified, as Jesus was, but still -- we have to make the effort to do our best.  NOTHING is "ours"; it's all a gift.  We're supposed to share, hard as that may be.    -----Really, we, the RCC, has NOT done a good job of persuasion.  ----Wonder, how come so many want to come into our country, but so many countries don't want to adopt our form or principles of government for their own country? ---There's a lot of work to do.
