I have zero tolerance when I hear implications that the Lord of creation didn't know what He was talking about.

Amen, Sister!!!

In the words of a famous Catholic:


Tolerance is an attitude of reasoned patience toward evil ... a forbearance that restrains us from showing anger or inflicting punishment.

 Tolerance applies only to persons ... never to truth.

 

America, it is said, is suffering from intolerance — it is not. 

It is suffering from tolerance. 

Tolerance of right and wrong, truth and error, virtue and evil, Christ and chaos. 

Our country is not nearly so overrun with the bigoted as it is overrun with the broadminded.

There's material in there for a good tag line...I'm tucking that away for future use.
