Some examples of ECF's (spanning from AD 235 to AD 733).....

Yes, cover up is certainly formidable in hiding abuse, lies, destruction of the faith and soul of an innocent. Another name for demon is that, Demon Cover Up…and what is sickening, is how those who are in the buddy system, follow the denial, and spread more abuse, however unintended. There is power to false judgment and abuse…it is like murdering the inside of the person…but the person goes on ‘living’.

Prayer and penance…people uniting their sufferings for the abuse victims are great sources for healing…

Are you on West coast??? …oh well…

Neither coast… well that’s not true. Try the Gulf Coast. Tejas or now known as Texas. Remember the Alamo? That is where I’m from. Currently I’m further north.

We went to San Antonio. Going home, we got back to town here. I told my husband I wanted to move there. The man on the bus started laughing and said his wife was the same…all about more c u l t u r e.

I told my husband if we moved there, we could go to the River Walk once a month and eat dinner outside…and we perceive Texans as straight shooters.

You should also receive about the Mass written by St. Justin the Martyr, if you haven’t.

I can’t sleep right now…will go back and try to sack out. But it is on here. If you haven’t seen it, I can dig it out of some thread here later on.

St. Justin the Martyr: I’ve read quite a bit of the ECF and continue.

S.A. is a culturally rich. But there is a lot of violence there. My wife and I used to get sickened by the media’s over attention to the execution style murders that seemed to take place regularly. The Mexican Mafia was prevalent there. It’s difficult to make a living there. Pay is lower than most of Texas’ major metropolitan areas. We moved to north Texas to climb out of college poverty. At least here we’ve been able to support our family. Trust me. visiting the Riverwalk that often gets dull and boring after a while. But there are so many things to do down there: Sea World, Sliderbahn, Ciesta Park, Missions, lots of parties, caverns, zoos, lakes, tubing down rivers, food and more food, 6th street, etc. We miss it but were Protestant down there. In fact we’re headed down there in the next mini-vacation to use our passes to Sea World. It’s a great place to visit. But living is not so great unless you’re into the night life or get out doors to the hill country, which is another great aspect. The grass is greener on the other side. But of course, being Catholic now it would be interesting. We visited the Missions this past summer, a first for me. That was really cool. In fact, I’d suggest doing that next time you go. We visited on Sunday and realized that mass was held in most if not all of them. It was great.

The grass is always greener on the other side…it is definitely green here all the time, but it doesn’t take away the folly to experience the ‘far side’.

Have to watch those impulses!
