The Pope is visiting. Not the Gorse Fox, you understand, just the Country as a whole. The “aggressive atheists” and the sneering media have been trying everything to discredit and disrupt the visit. It is a shame. Nobody is perfect, but the Pope seems like a good man and he is being vilified for decisions made years ago and the Catholic Church is being vilified for the behaviour of some of its members.
The Gorse Fox is not condoning nor excusing actions of the wicked few – but he likes to remember that the Church is based on a foundation of “love one another” and “forgive your enemy” and a moral code that stretches back for centuries. Only a very small fraction of the billion church members have perpetrated these nefarious deeds that all are being tarred with.
It is trendy to deny the existence of God, to vilify believers, and to sneer at organised religion (as long as it’s not Islam). Well GF is a proud believer and proud of it. Sneer all you like… the Gorse Fox will forgive you.
God Bless you.
