I may check that book out. I'm at least curious to see how it attempts to reconcile these things with the Faith.
Your points are valid but keep in mind that the only christians I know about are you people (who, as I said above, I would not necessarily consider a fair cross section of any sort of population.) I look at you and dustkitten and kholnuu and ecwoodburn and I attempt to reconcile it with what I really see about Christians in general out there and I'd still say that you are extraordinary Christians and not the norm.
The pope.. I wouldn't look upon the pope with starry eyes. He's done wonders to help the iron curtain come down and may have made great strides towards human rights and social justice, but he still denies homosexuality, marrying priests and has done little to nothing with the whole American Priest scandal.
I won't deny that there are plenty of every day people trying their best to make a difference and maybe, in that respect, I'm being unfair since I don't see these people and they have nothing to do with my life. In that respect, I probably am being unfair.
