Civility is passe' and no one seems to mind.
Miss Manners is asked stupid questions and the questioner has no plans to actually follow her advice.
The days of demureness and acting properly in a given situation are gone.
And why? You tell me. Because we as a people, not just in the United States, but people in general, have been sliding down into the depths of depravity and have barely noticed. It started with the first "dirty word" on television. Shock, horror. But we let it pass. If we protested, we were "censors" and we were therefore "bad" for trying to protect those who didn't want protection from hearing filthy language. Then it was racial slurs. Then it was advertisements for "women's products"vism.
We now look forward to the reign of a new Pope. We hope that the new Pope will continue John Paul II’s ecumenical work by accepting the biblical doctrines of justification by faith, the priesthood of the believer, and the authority of the scriptures. We are aware that those are radical changes, but they must be done if Christendom is to be united again.
By the way, the Master has an excellent article on the Pope:
The Power of Faith
