All successful products of a Jesuit education know it and the very most successful are burdened by it. <BR/><BR/>Inside the Vatican humor aside you are correct. There are going to be numerous instances of chances for proper behavior.Rob Dawghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10042154106850545479noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7514357.post-79897505953162684272009-03-19T15:02:00.000-07:002009-03-19T15:02:00.000-07:00As a flawed product of a brief Jesuit education I ...As a flawed product of a brief Jesuit education I would say "none of the above" as G*d's grace is available only to individuals, not to municipal corporations or individuals acting solely as their agents. Pilate may seek grace as Pontius the man, not as the governor of Judea. <BR/><BR/>I don't know anything about Sac's tent city or how it came to be, but if certain elected officials are feeling uncomfortable about their role in impoverishing the community they were supposed to serve, seeking foregiveness is appropriate. For most politicians, prior to commencing good works a penance of 8000 Hail Marys would be a good start.Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11106164237354370049noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7514357.post-81891225496620918372009-03-19T12:44:00.000-07:002009-03-19T12:44:00.000-07:00Max, You have an excellent observation.

Oprah and the UK press notwithstanding, this is an overblown issue that KJ is using to gain publicity. I am in downtown Sacramento every day, and there is less homeless on the street than even two years ago.Maxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15501367665656744544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7514357.post-44776209625200864302009-03-19T12:40:00.000-07:002009-03-19T12:40:00.000-07:00My first two first day ever.My first two first day ever.Mr. Outspokenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15085388568965402121noreply@blogger.com
