Oh yeah! Now you're speaking my language. My sister-in-law has a Phd in this stuff - and I have
my own hobby blog about it.
I've emailed the link to your blog to my other computer. I'm writing this on my "Vinnies" computer which I should only be using for "Vinnies" stuff.
I'll have a look at it later, and maybe bookmark.
One day I might get around to doing a blog (most likely with a Catholic bias, except for by hobby horse below about contraception). If so I may ask you for advice from time to time.
CONTRACEPTION
I disagree with the Catholic Church's ruling on contraception. As my old pastor thought "I think the Contraceptive Pill was God's gift, given at the very time population pressures were becoming a real problem in some parts of the world."
I could go on about the two committees set up by Pope John XXIII and Pius VI (I think) which BOTH recommended the pill should be available for married couples but a hardline core said they couldn't possibly admit the Protesants were right. Apparently the Protestants haven't got a brain between them.
Let's take modern India for example.
The population of India is now 1.45 billion people - 1,450,000,000.
The area of India is 3.287 milion square kilometres - 3,287,000.
This means the average land avaiable to a modern Indian is 3287000/1450000000 square kilometres, viz. .00223 square kilometres.
Multiplying by 1,000,000 to get square meters, we get 2230 square meters.
The square root of that amount is 47.22 metres.
This means the average block available to the average Indian citizen today is 47 x 47 metres to grow all their food, provide all their water, provide all their energy, with a margin required for roads, buildings, parks, gardens, houses, pets if any, schools, factories, hospitals, military bases etc. etc.
I'm not impressed one bit with the Catholic appeal to "Tradition". God gave us a brain and He expects us to use it.
