I really admire your well thought out posts. Keep it up.

I was a product of the Catholic school system here in the US. One thing that stuck with me was the Catholic teachings on social justice (helping the poor etc.). Sadly the church in the US has seemed to have abandoned those teachings and now concentrates on gays, abortions and keeping their property. It is a shame.
It was the Sisters of the Blessed Virgin Mary or BVMs as they were usually called (as kids we called them black veiled monsters).
I believe if there is a heaven every woman who became a teaching BVM has a spot there.

The teachings on social justice still guide me daily.

Congratulations on #5000 - many more.
