[Buddha-l] Re: Speaking of tests...

[Michael Paris]

Roman Catholicism, at least the old, pre-Vatican II style (Latin Mass,
incense, and all, in which I was raised) is a wonderful religion IF AND
ONLY IF you take away the male-dominated hierarchy, fixations on guilt,
and the notions of sin. 

Sin, in the sense of "missing the mark," isn't such a bad concept. But
using it as a rod, whip, and instrument of torture really isn't very
nice.
