People in general were much smaller then. The agricultural revolution which enabled civilization led to much higher human populations but smaller humans compared to prehistoric times. Skeletal evidence shows this. Ancient legends of giants may be just embellished accounts of encounters between civilized people and hunter/gatherer barbarians. Only in contemporary times has a better diet enabled humans on average to match or exceed prehistoric size.Kirt Higdonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07566940318893160281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31069882.post-37762213143382328952015-01-24T00:15:55.638+00:002015-01-24T00:15:55.638+00:00I unfortunately doubt that the Holy Father was ref...I unfortunately doubt that the Holy Father was referring to fornication when he made his comment about Catholics need not breed like rabbits.Georgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13835223918176453873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31069882.post-90169787008116895162015-01-23T19:40:18.330+00:002015-01-23T19:40:18.330+00:00Matthew 18:6

Consequently I have removed it - thanks for proof rereading - always welcome.Fr Ray Blakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05584140126211527252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31069882.post-47006561683376464952015-01-23T12:01:22.108+00:002015-01-23T12:01:22.108+00:00Dear Father,
In this posting you surpass your occ...Dear Father, <br />In this posting you surpass your occasional failure to correct typing or spelling errors. <br /><br />In the middle of your penultimate paragraph you have the following:<br />Heterosexual sex is about difference and otherness, whilst homosexual (from the Greek homo meaning same, often in the past being seen as narcissistic) always has a certain orientation towards new life, towards a third party, the child who might be conceived. <br /><br />This is nonsense. I suspect a whole clause is missing, or your cut-and-paste has misplaced a grammatically incomplete digression into homosexuality into the middle of a true observation about heterosexual coupling, making homosexuality pretend to look piously for the creation of children.<br /><br />This need not be published. i do admire your work. But the posting needs urgent correction.B flathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17611595580578224726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31069882.post-78821309843676631652015-01-23T10:09:14.547+00:002015-01-23T10:09:14.547+00:00Protectors, Predators, Peter Pans, about whom I ha...Protectors, Predators, Peter Pans, about whom I have written tons on my blog.<br /><br />We need to train our children to be saints.
