Hi Alpha Librae,
The article conveyed enough about the Mother to make it clear that she was a pathetic character who took refuge behind a faith she little understood. The author may have pulled his punch, he depicts her as pathetic. One person’s pathos is a source of evil, given reign over the lives of others, with harm spread beyond the immediate family. Which of his neighbors thought Hitler’s parents were anything other than just bad parents? Bad parents, whose handiwork killed millions and led to untold harm beyond his family and beyond his home country.
Your writing style is easy on the eyes, LiM. I can see you are a reasonable man. It’s a pleasure to know you better.
