Her title for the post was:<br /><br />"The only city which has a father."<br /><br />Very touching. <br /><br />And if you ask me, it explains some of the goings on in Rome (e.g. all its naughty sons and daughters rebelling against the Pope).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5632463161266737914.post-43241587985228160032010-02-06T15:02:38.945+11:002010-02-06T15:02:38.945+11:00Again, well done, Pole!
You seemed to know what ...Again, well done, Pole! <br /><br />You seemed to know what I was getting at, even though of course it is no argument against fatherhood, for example, if a father is a dolt. But you could see what I was getting at. <br /><br />Excellent reply!

Of course this book is only part of an even larger tome Three Conversations. Thank you Pole for giving me something to meditate upon,especially as i try and sit through a rendtion of hymns -dreadful and dirgy -at churhc this sundayMatthiasnoreply@blogger.com
