As already noted whilst we are discussing child abuse by Tony's church he finds grammar and spelling far more important. This is the sort of denial by Catholics that has protected the church for so long. Tony's other defence is he is a "lapsed Catholic" but his wife goes to Catholic Church and his children go to a Catholic school. -- \/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\ \/\/\/\/\ Chris Hills Staffs England /\/\/\/\/ \/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/

More in denial and refusing to address the huge problem of the Catholic church supporting pedophiles. -- \/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\ \/\/\/\/\ Chris Hills Staffs England /\/\/\/\/ \/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/

When he showed difficulties in reading (just a few days after his seventh birthday) his parents had him tested. The oral portion of the test concluded with this question: "What are the negative connotations of rapid technological advancement?" He gave some logical examples and the tester said he was the only seven-year-old who even tried to answer it. Incidentally, his parents found a good therapist and by the time he was in the sixth grade he was reading at 12th grade level. His case certainly indicates the truth of your statement, Tony. Allen
