IF GOOD MEN FAIL
by David Sisler
�When bad men combine, the good must associate; else they will fall one by one, an unpitied sacrifice in a contemptible struggle.�
That quote from Edmund Burke in �Thoughts on the Cause of Present Discontents� has, in general use, come to be delivered as, �The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.� |

Vatican to release files on Pope Pius XI
VATICAN CITY - The Vatican said Friday it will release from its secret archives years of files on Pope Pius XI, whose pontificate spanned most of the period between the world wars. ...
For years, the Vatican has struggled to defend Pius' successor � the wartime Pope Pius XII � against claims he did not do enough to save Jews from the Holocaust.
The material to be released may include an encyclical that Pius XI commissioned to denounce racism and the violent nationalism of Germany.
The encyclical was titled "Humani Generis Unitatas," or "The Unity of the Human Race," but Pius died before releasing it. It was never made public. |
And just where are we headed with denuded civil liberties, unjust invasions...
Yes, I think being QUIET and POLITE is just the thing to do... Let us DO discuss this as gentlemen... |
