I'm angry, but, even beyond my rage, I have such overwhelming sadness that so many people are so ill-informed, so uneducated, so willing to believe the foul lies of their neighbours, so full of hatred that those foul lies are sweeter than than the truths of reality.
I will put it another way. I have many personal clashes with my godfather. This is unsurprising given myself and given his firm belief in this movement. I have an uncle who often attempts to run some thing vaguely resembling interference at family gatherings when my limits are pushed and I'm this close to getting into someone's face for saying that, essentially, I don't deserve life. My uncle, however, has given this up when he was confronted with needing to explain the "liberal" policies of the Catholic Church. While I have had the fortune of encountering and being fostered by many good, liberal-minded Catholics - my godfather, who was at this rally, thinks that Pope Benedict XVI - Ratzinger - is liberal. Comprehend that. I can't.
