Sounds like politically correct revisionism <s> The shamelessly anti-Catholic version would I'm sure have been more popular when Foxe's Book of Martyrs was a best-seller <g> ( first discovered by me on my old grandmama's bookshelf. Probably why when I was a small child I thought the expression 'It's worse where there's none' was 'where there's nuns'. of course I also thought we were singing "Gladly, the Cross-eyed Bear" in church. I wasn't a bright child but I sang beautifully and could name all the parts of a turkey. (even the snood) )

Though a good deal is too strange to be believed, nothing is too strange to have happened.
- Thomas Hardy
Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm-- but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves.
-- T. S. Eliot
Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for lunch.
Liberty is a well-armed sheep contesting the vote.
- Ben Franklin
Pardon him, Theodotus. He is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature.
