In Vino Veritas

June 6, 2008


Raymond Arroyo writing in Newsweek, April 21, 2008 says this of Benedict XVI: “He’s a quotable Pope, unafraid of stoking controversy and starting conversation.”
I like that, as I like this Pope, so such will be the hope of these reflections that they may be “unafraid of stoking controversy and starting conversation.”:
Liberals and Conservatives, or any other diverse groups one may name, must, it seems to me be able to talk to each other and even if they cannot agree they could at least try to be friends.
It is an ancient axiom “ In vino verititas” , thus said “Temetum per occasionem “might be helpful .
