Briefly, there's a book and film called Lamb, can't
remember the author.  That film summed up catholicism for
me.

Vince replies: who needs 2,000 years of accumulated
materials when one book telling one story (and who knows if
fiction or nonfiction) can "sum up" everything.  Too bad
Aquinas wrote his Sumna, for this story eliminates all need
for knowing anything else.  All the dogmatic theologies,
all the history, can be tossed for this one story - which
is after all a book and a movie.

However, as a nonRoman, I will match your one story of a
prisst and boy with Mother Teresa and raise you with
Dorothy Day.

sure I'm making sense.

Vince replies: No, where you are coming from is perfectly 
clear.
