This is so eerie! What torture to know that you have been duped yet the sense of helplessness implies it is too late to do anything about it, even having come into this knowledge. Sounds like something is haunting, stalking. Great imagery too with the sacred heart beating in stony silence, this is so well written.

i like the use of the Cathedral .. such a grand history to them ..the work with colors and blood is powerful to me ... anyone who is or was Catholic will relate for sure .. and anyone raised in a Christian setting will too .. we are taught impossible tasks which "must" be completed .. like no more sinning ... right!! lets see ... who has done that .. oh yes ... Jesus Christ .. and that's it! no one else .. in fact the Christ child was born without sin .. how could He not be .. He is God's true son .. if we are to believe all the testimony given by Him and about Him .. so we end up with guilt more than anything else as a result .. because we fail to recognize the need to accept our forgiveness ... so we make our choices .. throw the baby out with the bath water or keep the clean baby ;))))))))))))) i have always like the Stone's Sympathy for the Devil ... but it always makes me feel uneasy and just a bit frightened ... weird huh!? i was raised Catholic from birth .. i'm a '49er ... i have never been able to return to worship in a Catholic Church but i do see the clean baby in it ... has the Church changed much for you?

However it has not escaped from me as original sin still stains my hands and that darkness still follows like a gathering storm. Many thanks.

Well, have a long and complicated story and started it as an autobiography on Bebo but got writer's block/memory fogging. People liked it though and kept asking for the next chapter! fools.. more..
