                    [Summary] => Downsizing a library takes a lot more than a physical effort. It means going over a virtual history of your own mind, every book bought and kept being a marker of sorts of whatever it was you found interesting at that moment.

I read a fair bit but no more than friends who are avid readers. Maybe it is laziness or maybe it is a weakness of mind but the ability to concentrate on a book has eluded me for years. In the past four years only a few books have instantly gripped me.

Has it ever occurred to you how lonely devils must be? In the depths, they reside, separated from everything else by layers and layers of accumulated transgressions, shunned by man and banished by the gods, perpetually living in their dark desolation. These creatures, however, are not as alien as you think. From time to time, they take on the identities of common individuals. The truth is that these devils are as human as we are and we, as sinful and lonely as they.

So a couple of weeks ago I found myself watching the new Philip K. Dick-inspired movie, The Adjustment Bureau  a charming little sci-fi love story designed to feed both the romantic and the paranoiac in you.

A man who has never gone to school may steal from a freight car, but if he has a university education he may steal the whole railroad. Theodore Roosevelt

Power does not corrupt. Fear corrupts … perhaps the fear of a loss of power. John Steinbeck

[Summary] => Right now, at this moment, any stick is good enough with which to beat the Church. The Catholic Church is really under fire.

Of course, "the Church" is not only John Paul II, the Cardinals, the Bishops, the priests, the nuns. The Catholic Church is the little army of the children of God, many of whom are heroic in their holiness. They are saints, in the streets of the city. Saints, in the market place. Honestly, I pray with all my heart to be worthy of the beautiful souls whom God sends to me. They are beautiful inside and out.

Urgent action is needed to stem the growing tide of bogus medications that are either useless or actually cause harm, say doctors. The international community must act to stop the "murderous" trade.
