Eric,
In my tender old days...there used to be another celebrated nigh-ubiquitous
preacher, from dear Fred's neighbourhood, Sacru de Saligao, who went about,
garbed in a franciscan habit, preaching pretty apochrypal interpretations of
the
divine word that would never merit even passing credence in the Vulgate of the
august R.C. Ch. far beyond and daunting than John's Revelations...
He entertained, very pleasantly, our contemporary & sub c., generations: How
many
souls he converted or dispatched to damnation, as our S.J. gurus were wont to
direly warn us when caught gleefully attending Sacru's harrangues outside L.H.S.
Of course the poor chaps had cause to chagrin: Never would they succeed to
rival
Sacru in seccuring our avid attention to their chapel predications...
The moral I am fumbling for is the old cliché: It takes all & sundry to brew a
good
pot of stew----not just onions...
Alfred....who else?
