Safe SANE Sacred Spaces

can be 'SECULARIST'

The beauty of the American Constitution it is often said lies in the genius of creating a civil society in the secularist state which is apart from all sectarianism or any religion where people can live and love in peace without the punitive ugly mean influences of secular extremism or pressures of any religion. They ALL have extremist elements that seek punitive solutions. The non-establishment clause sought to save America from the sort of nonsense driving religious wars in Europe. The French Revolution threw out not only monarchy but was backlash against an overbearing catholic corrupt hierarchy which sought to punitively rule people by its connection to the state security apparatus. That is why the Bastille, the main french prison in Paris held more priests than royalists. This makes it ironic that a priest I know has a photo of the Bastille from the stop by that name on the Paris Metro on his facebook page. Priests in
France were so aweful that the population kicked them out, took church land imprisoned priests and created a strongly secular society in which there is now a 'ministry of cults' which will confiscate assets of religions off the rails. Some priests continue to have not learned the lesson and are disgusting. I would include the wildly self promoting vain cardinal of washington, dc, in that lot who would likely castrate any priest that made him look like he was losing control (my opinion but take it as fair warning) He is running for Pope.

"The Art of diplomacy is telling someone how to F off in such a way that they enjoy the ride. "
I would like to practice that art now, and you know who you are.
