Before you go, think about this…
Dr Potter, archbishop of New York, was once asked by one of his flock why angels are always depicted in the many pictures and statues of them as women or as young men without beards or moustaches. The bishop replied: “Women enter the Kingdom of Heaven naturally, but men only get in by a close shave.”
Give or take a few, it’s been 23771 months since the first coming of Christ ended. The Rapture can’t be long now… Can it?

The Inquisition could not be wrong. If it were, explained Pierre de Lancre, the witch judge (Description of the Inconstancy of Evil Angels, 1612 AD), cited by Carl Sagan, “the Catholic Church would be committing a great crime by burning witches. Those who raise such possibilities are thus attacking the Church and ipso facto committing a mortal sin.” And that, of course, was quite impossible! Indeed, to criticize the whole witch hysteria was sufficient proof for the critic to be accused of witchcraft themselves. So the ones who nevertheless did, like the Jesuit Spee, were brave men.
