This is peachy, Hobbledehoy! I thank you for it.

Why does anything written before about 1960 ring so much truer than almost anything written after that? These old docuмents have such an authority about them, and a sincerity, and a lack of self-doubt, that they're like a tall glass of cool water in the middle of a desert.

Even if I didn't know about the Vat2 debacle, I would still be able to notice that a polar shift in thinking occurred somewhere in the early 60's, just by reading the literature that each period produced. Everything written since then, especially but not exclusively related to religion, seems to have lost all of its flavor.

I can't help but think that even the Heavens moved when the False Church took over the Vatican.  :devil2:
