Before the age of seven,
Innocence is all around.After which,
Ignorance abound.Until the age of seventy,
Where wisdom may be found.

Poem: Shakespeare & Samson
By Madison S. Hughes (03.04.2009)
So long as men can breathe,
Or eyes can see,
So long lives this,
And this gives life to thee.It must be remembered,
As Samson found.
Until blinded,
One’s sight still bound.
Aphorism: On the Catholic Church’s Support of Child Rape
By Madison S. Hughes (07.24.2011)
“If a Priest gets married he is excommunicated from the Catholic Church; however, if that same Priest rapes a child he will not be excommunicated, but instead transferred to a different Diocese.”
If one is a member of the Ku Klux Klan one is considered a racist, but if one is a member of the Catholic Church one is considered—not by me mind you—an “upstanding” citizen of the community.
It seems to me that if one remains a member of the Catholic Church one is, at best, demonstrating complicity, and, at worst, an active accomplice to the child raping Priest.
