Regarding forgiveness, there is an untamed Orange Elephant in the courtroom. He might be absolved of his blatant sins by certain justices of the Supreme Court , who imitate Catholic Priests. When lies, excuses, minimization, and outright denial abound throughtout this country, any possibility of genuine accountability leading to forgiveness is foreclosed. An adherence to principles and laws requires that we first strive to be open and honest . Humility should follow.
I could never get my head around the catholic church's model of forgiveness. Seems far too easy and convenient.
Easy. Convenient. What's not to like? Plenty!

Thanks Mark. I agree that accountability and humility are virtues our culture fails to promote and reward enough. We pay a very high price for that.
