New developments in Catholicism
Pope Francis recently wrote that Atheists can go to heaven if they follow their consciences. I don't doubt that his heart is in the right place here. It's a kindly gesture. But I'm not sure this is a good idea. Think of that poor Atheist. There they are, late at night, driving drowsily along a dark and snowy country road and, bam, suddenly they're in Heaven. Angels are singing, puttis are flying happily about, top notch sushi bars are freely available. The Atheist is handed a perfect macchiato. The Atheist looks up to see The Lord God smiling beneficently over the vast paradise.
And the Atheist, right there, drops dead from the shock.

Post a Comment
If you were wondering, yes, you should comment. Not only does it remind me that I must write in intelligible English because someone is actually reading what I write, but it is also a pleasure for me since I am interested in anything you have to say.
I respond to pretty much every comment. It's like a free personalized blog post!
One last detail: If you are commenting on a post more than two weeks old I have to go in and approve it. It's sort of a spam protection device. Also, rarely, a comment will go to spam on its own. Give either of those a day or two and your comment will show up on the blog.
