Catholicism--One man at the head of that religious conglomerate does not begin to erase centuries of domination, harm and abuse, nor legitimize a belief structure no less insane than the cult we all came out of. Francis is about as infallible and holy as Stevens was. No pope or cardinal ever came to power because of his spirit of austerity, sobriety and poverty. Take a look at the Vatican. Simple and humble hearts, indeed. For publicity purposes Francis can send notes all day long pretending that the Catholic hierarchy is about something other than promotion, honor, and decoration, but that is not reality. Catholicism's legacy is a grab for power and money through corruption, greed, oppression. There is no reason to think that has changed. No one, including Hargrave, should look to the Catholic Church for morality. The Catholic Church is no better than the walk. It has just lasted a lot longer.
