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 ?
