Otherwise, fasten your seat belts. This is going to be a bumpy ride. More and more bishops began to bear striking resemblances to rigid men of tin with no hearts, floppy men of straw with no brains, and magnificently coiffed and loudly roaring but otherwise decidedly cowardly lions. I understand, now, why the incidence of asthma is so high among impoverished inner city youth. Trust is destroyed.
All hope is stifled.
All dreams are killed. One has to be able to breathe in order to be inspired. The Tin Men have set up very effective Straw Men, and the laborers are being kept from working the fields of faith for fear of being called racist. Indeed, the preposterous notion that AIDS came to this country from The Dark Continent because 'everyone knows that the Africans fornicate with monkeys' still persists. Now that these good African Bishops have become thoroughly westernized , they have turned the corner.
