Maybe not the right place

Yesterday on the news-Danish, I saw a clip from a official building in USA where this flag was taken down. About 2-3 minutes later it was the sports news-Albania was given 3 points and they showed some clip from this "famous match" between Albania and Serbia.

I saw a drone with a flag and some football player trying to..do something..then all went in chaos, players was fighting a.s.o

Then I thought- It's incredible what flag can do to people.

Well, you know what they say about assumptions... :D

From what I recall, Slovenia has a large Catholic population. (A young lady I worked with, though born in the US, had family in Slovenia and always spoke highly of the country and it beauty). When I went to Catholic school, it was from the mid 50s to 1966. The Church was just getting into the whole Ecumenical Council reforms abut the time I graduated. Up to then, it was a very old style school, very hard and regimented. Our teachers, mainly nuns, didn't really tolerate very much questioning and most of the time the answer to a potentially unanswerable or uncomfortable question would be "Because it is God's will"...

It sounds like your priest was a Jesuit. You were lucky to have such a good teacher. I still, myself, choose to just try to follow the "Golden Rule" and try to avoid being locked into any particular flavor of religion or faith...

One point to be made about the topic at hand: all references to God (I n God we trust, under God, etc.) could be removed from all branches of the US government tomorrow and nothing would change and nothing would be materially damaged; the currency would be just as strong, the flag would still fly as always; the only difference would be that those who would impose their views and wills on other under the guise of faith would have to find something else to occupy their time. You know, like try to obey the Commandments...

BTW, if anyone would wish to give examples of any harm possibly done by actually separating church and state, I demand actual, tangible, material examples and not rhetoric or platitudes...

Predominantly catholic nation, very low actuall practice.
Even the atheists mostly declare themselves catholic here.
Cultural grounds mostly.

We had that one priest for 30 years, he had me from baptism to confirmation.
After confirmation I left the Church, soon we had another priest who was even more chilled than the previous one. He believed that one can pray in his heart and do good and so his mass was a 20min affair. It didn't stant good in the whole ''look like a good christian'' crowd. The sunday mass was something the klero hypocrits used as the only excuse to make themselves look like good christians and a short mass made them feel disconected from God.
He was booted out and replaced by one of those old school tyrants. A true inquisitor. Beloved by the Sunday klero hypocrits. Can't stand him.

HA HA, take dat bigots!
