Madonna
with Child
Hester
Prynne?
Or, The Virgin Mary?
Dear Fred,
Thanks for your email.
Yes, we live in a more
serious country than Italy.
But our "gravity"
is secondary to the dolefulness of the nation's Puritan
Fundamentalists.
Italian Catholics, on the
other hand, invented indulgence.
Thanks be to God!
Three cheers for Johann
Tetzel! Even more for Mardi Gras!
Too many gringos cling
to their God-damned guns and Bad Religion.
Ruled by the false gods of
Violence and Vengeance, these shrunken minds and shrunken souls are
sadistically determined to suture "Scarlet Letters" upon the tender
breasts of The Damned.
By my lights, Americans most
in danger of "damnation" are those whose core contempt for Reason
and Proportion twists evident realities into manifest monstrosities.
Here is how the diabolical
mechanism operates. http://paxonbothhouses.blogspot.com/2013/02/harris-poll-wingnuts-and-president-obama.html
Contemporary "Christian" "conservatism" flies directly in the face of Prudence.

Pax on both houses,

PS Ironically, one would be hard-pressed to locate a single American Christian -- even among legions of fundamentalists -- who would not fault Hester Prynne's treatment. Remarkably, "Christian"
judgmentalists are always proven wrong.

I would much rather go to Italy than read this story --- I wish I was in Rome right now -- I bet the weather is very good, and the food and wine -- it would be a great pleasure.
Let's face it, we live in a more serious country.
