F*CKLANDS >>I take 'save' as a very serious verb. "Jesus saved my life", Geary said. >>Which is paradoxical in that Jesus died before Geary was born, but that's >>Catholicism for you.<< Geary: "That is NOT Catholicism, that is Protestantism. Salvation through faith in Christ alone is Luther's perversity and that of all the heretics who followed his damnable lead. But unus, sanctus, Catholicus et apostolicus ecclesius teaches, and rightly so, that both faith and GOOD WORKS are need for salvation. It's a steep and thorny road to heaven and a hard rain's a-gonna fall before you get there. Please don't slur Catholicism with your heresy. Mike Geary "once a Catholic, always a Catholic" Memphis" ----- You know -- you are right. I _was_ weighing my words when I wrote that, and was about to write "That's Christianism for you" which I thought sounded rude. Mea culpa et apologia, domine. This reminds me of that brilliant script, "The Entertainer" by J. Osborne. In one sequence, Brenda de Benzie, I think she's the film actress, recalls how she noticed a couple of open homosexuals at the back of a double decker, and irritated by their 'queer lingo', she explodes, "Oh you shut up. My son was killed [in Suez] for the likes of you" ---- which is horribly politically incorrect, and a wrong ascription on the intention to _save_ on the part of the British Tommy. Re: The Falklands War Defeat -- You do see veterans in public transports, asking for the charity -- pathetic. -- Those who DIED there (some of them ironically Anglo-Argentines with names like Reynolds and Tomlinson), were killed by the hands of Gurkhas mercenaries -- who were high in drugs and killing each other on the way up to the hill where the Argentines kept their troops. Hardly Spartan on the British side. J. L. Speranza Buenos Aires, Argentina **************************************Check out AOL's list of 2007's hottest products.
