probably seems like I'm splitting hairs, but I'm not. I had to think about remark to decide if it were really true. I believe it is. You either love America, or you don't. It's like the Church. There are times when people in the church do reprehensible things. It 's still the Church and always will be, and a Catholic never leaves it.
I believe the analogy fits America perfectly. And if it ceases to fit, it will be because America ceased to exist.
