A parable.

Let's try substituting the dates of the conversations with the dates of the deaths of the last five popes, and I'd be willing to suggest that this parable is more about the so-called faithful catholics the main stream media keep quoting lately, who are wishing for a "progressive pope" who will legalize our sins so we won't have to change our selfish ways. OK, now I think that it might have a place on this website!

I don't get this conversation. Somehow, this doesn't seem appropriate to be on CWN site.

At least Arlene and Fred have stayed married for sixteen years. Either their secret is their open marriage, or perhaps because civil laws do have demonstrable sociological consequences, they reside in the one or two jurisdictions where divorce is not "no fault." .

Fred: It doesn't matter whose hope dear. Its a theological virtue.
