If I am reading him correctly, the term "tolerance" or "broad-mindedness" should only extend to people and not to principles. I agree with that up to a point. However, I think where we may differ is that my nature is to tolerate both. By that I do NOT mean that I accept different principles into my own belief system. It means that I accept their right to "be" and do not attempt to shove my beliefs onto differing ideals. I don't become defensive or angry if someone else differs in beliefs/principles from my own. Each has a right to his/her own beliefs and the journey each is on. It does not threaten me or my core principles to have others think differently. <br /><br />However, I enjoyed reading your blog, Ray, and the nice memories of watching Bishop Sheen on TV as a child still make me smile. He was such a gifted speaker and frequently made a lot of sense in the "real world" as well as the "religious world". Thanks for bringing that sweet memory back home to me!Sherrynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3562012086392432839.post-55587278888819715782012-10-06T07:39:42.801-07:002012-10-06T07:39:42.801-07:00Thank you for sharing this.

As I was reading I was reminded of this passage, "Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it." Matthew 7:13-14 Thanks again !!!Luis Terronhttp://www.linkedin.com/in/luisterronnoreply@blogger.com
