I've made personal safety a condition of any talks... You know a flag of truce...

On the other issue of broad brush statements, I have known many Catholics and considered them good friends and good people, it is the INSTITUTION that I do not trust.

Would you say that you trust the Republican Party to engage in an open and honest dialogue? I know good people who vote conservative as well, that doesn't make the INSTITUTION trustworthy.

Open minds yes... but personal safety is the first issue... Not everyone lives in an open and supportive environment with family and friends you can rely on. I am not so fortunate to have that privilege.
