>>P.S. Pride is one of the Seven Deadly Sins.

Where does your disingenuousness fit in?

Your example proves that context is everything to understanding.

Thanks for that demonstration.

So your bodies do not decay? According to the Catholic Church, that makes you eligible for sainthood...

Hey, did you ever read the Bridge of San Luis Rey, by Thorton Wilder? The only place I recall this particular definition of corruption from, in my 12 years of Catholic school.

More or less on this particular off topic, amazon.com came up with the following "also bought" list for this book:

Sister Carrie; Theodore Dreiser
Tobacco Road; Erskine Caldwell
Appointment in Samarra; John O'Hara

Those are all beyond my somewhat sparse, middle brow reading background. Dwight's people would probably call them all "liberal".

Cheers, Dan.

P.S. Sorry, I can't help myself with Dwight. I admire your composure, but for the life of me I don't know what to say in response to "The sexual revolution was due to the end of public school prayer / the end of Western Civilization is due to liberals". I'd be happy to just let it pass, if there weren't so many people here spouting the same line.
