Remember Puritan roots of liberty
....
It is so frighteningly easy to take our freedom for granted, but a quick
review of the last 100 years gives us a renewed appreciation.
More than midway through the last century, it still seemed inevitable to
many that atheism would one day triumph. The majority of mankind lived
under nominally atheist rule, the occasionally convulsive but more
typically incremental advance of western secularization seemed
inexorable, the desacralization of the world a fait accompli. How
swiftly the fashion of the world changes. Apologists for blood-steeped
tyrannies may still not be held in sufficient contempt, but the systems
of butchery they so slobberingly adored have been discredited beyond
revision.
Pope John Paul II, a great friend of America and himself a great
advocate for human freedom, required only a decade to demonstrate how
much more powerful is faith in God than the banalities of dialectical
materialism. This is not unrelated to our own national sense of personal
freedom and dignity. Preponderantly, the forces of freedom favor the
devout rather than a bright idyll of rational humanism. Secularism
creates a culture of almost mystical triviality.

There, that's that straightened out.

Translation: "all the groups and individuals whose 'human freedom' JPII
deliberately sought to curtail are just people that I don't give a *****
about".

First you get down on your knees,
Fiddle with your rosaries,
Bow your head with great respect, and
Genuflect, genuflect, genuflect!
Do whatever steps you want, if
You have cleared them with the Pontiff.
Everybody say his own
Kyrie eleison,
Doin' the Vatican Rag.
Get in line in that processional,
Step into that small confessional,
There, the guy who's got religion'll
Tell you if your sin's original.
If it is, try playin' it safer,
Drink the wine and chew the wafer,
Two, four, six, eight,
Time to transubstantiate!
So get down upon your knees,
Fiddle with your rosaries,
Bow your head with great respect, and
Genuflect, genuflect, genuflect!
Make a cross on your abdomen,
When in Rome do like a Roman,
Ave Maria,
Gee it's good to see ya,
Gettin' ecstatic, an'
Sorta dramatic, an'
Doin' the Vatican Rag!
'Nuff said.

Er, that should say '*Special Needs Assistant* to President Bush at the
White
House'...
