	I'm sure New York City presents a dreary, even fearful, 
	view of life as it is now lived.  And probably no worse than 
	in any other great modern urban conglomerate lacking 
	'an overiding mythology'.

	I'm also confident that the Catholic ethos is no worse than 
	many other systems of belief in producing its peculiar horrors. 
	However, I should be interested to hear from those countless 
	victims of abuse - physical, emotional & sexual - now emerging 
	from the shadows of church orphanages & Order schools. 
	What do they feel, I wonder, about the peculiar benefits arising 
	from the `overiding mythology' of the principal Christian sect ?
