In the newsobserver.com, the website for the News and Observer newspaper, there was an article on the new group officially blessed by those in power in the Vatican called "Courage."

Here's what is interesting: which takes more courage: living the life God gave you, or living a lie and denying what gave you?

Denying and living a repressed life does not courage. It takes a spirit of cowardliness.
Pace!

Will some would call it courage as they are so wrapped up in dogma that they can't venture forth any other way. So sad.
