it's always interesting to see a sentiment I more or less agree with coming from a source that's far outside of the things I put much consideration in to. I didn't read the whole statement, but I liked the sentiment of his opening line. It reminded me of a Jesuit(?) approach, where the sentiment is about being more focused with just helping make the world a better place in the here and now and being less focused on the history and dogma. Like it or not, it's rarely a bad thing to have an institution with the power of the Catholic church presumptively working in the same direction. Enemy of my enemy and all that.
