In our time mass or collective production has entered our economics, our politics, even our religion, so that some nations have substituted the idea collective for the idea God.

At such a time it seems natural and good to me to ask myself these questions. What do I believe in? What must I fight for and what must I fight against? ↗

When my children were born, I didn't have them baptized because I felt baptism was about erasing Original Sin - something the Church said children got from their mother - and I absolutely refused to believe women carry Original Sin. ↗
