One of the brothers shared this fun story with me:
Br. So-and-so came to us after graduating from MIT. One time
back in 1952 I showed him an article I had written for my high school
magazine explaining in detail how the rocket scientists,
given enough money, could send a manned space craft into orbit around the
earth, and from there to the moon and back. He said: "You can
believe that science fiction stuff if you want, but take it from me, a
graduate of MIT, it can't be done. To escape from the gravitational pull
of the earth, you have to add more fuel, which adds more weight, which
requires more fuel. It just can't be done."

Faithful, or even just thoughtful criticisms are always welcome. Uninformed rudeness to other posters or to the Lord and His Church is not.
I also reserve the right to reject comments promoting things like private revelations and fringe points of view, if it seems to me like they are being presented in a misleading way.
If you raise a disagreement with something I say but I do not respond, please do not feel slighted or insulted, or imagine that this automatically means I disagree or agree with you. It's just that I don't find the comment box to be a constructive medium for certain forms of debate.
