Interesting trade off CE.
Being raised as I was, or that and my nature, I can't remember not thinking about those mysteries. I'd like a container to help hold them. And to help give my boy to do with as he pleased, meaning if I went back to practicing some Catholic hybrid, he'd be free to exercise his intelligent choice.
We, my son and I spoke a number of time about The
Church's role in world history. My kid is into history, esp empire building stuff. The rise and fall of civilizations like pages in a book. He hasn't learned to count the bodies yet, except for here in the states and the American Indians. And then, we simply glossed it. In California there are a lot of old missionaries. And he's a smart guy, so I let him put some stuff together w/o adding the details :-/Good lord he doesn't know a thing about the Inquisition (!). More about how the church dictated scientific thought, you know, and the sun orbiting the earth. Stuff like that.
Thanks CE
