A note from film noir….

Something to bear in mind during these difficult times for the Church:
At one point, [Orson] Welles – speaking as the elusive crook Harry Lime – proclaims:

“In Italy for 30 years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder, bloodshed – they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, 500 years of democracy and peace – and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock.”
