What he did or what he was about, I have no knowledge, but it was BIG news when he got shot. Nearly died, IIRC.

Pardon me, but I'm not a Catholic or anything like that. Never understood them and it's too late for me to catch up now. I don't get into fights on the whole things.

All I know is religion of some sort or other is another system of control, IMHO. They outlast governments and can pull them down whenever they want, so they must be dealt with as the powerful entities that they are.

It's time for a major pushback in this country toward secular government and education before we lose it altogether. At times, I feel it is a losing battle, but where I live we are very secular and public minded. It may not stay that way.

I don't want to insult you if the RCC has personal meaning to you, but I'm not into that and don't try to tell anyone what to think online. I see it as NOMB, and my life is NOTB, either.
