There is a lot of divisiveness among the various Christian sects and denominations. The ecumenical movement has for decades tried to come to some kind of effort to heal these divisions. Progress has been really slow. I think it would be great if one day there was not so much factionalism among Christians. --g.

The Pope and Ted Haggard (meth user and male prostitute lover) were the alpha and omega of Christianty before Ted got busted in a cheap motel room. Il Papa was a proud and unapologetic member of the Nazi Youth in WW2. Whatever christains remain inbetween, good luck to "ya'll".
