On page 8, among many “Notes of Interest” (pp. 7-10), we quote the Pope regarding his defense for waging war against the Bosnian Serbs and then conclude with this:\u00a0“Would that the Pope had spoken consistently and approved the defensive action taken in behalf of the defenseless domiciles of the womb.”<\/p>\n
Also among the many “Notes” is a commendation of NJ Superior Court Judge Patrick J. McCann who upheld the decision (back then) of the Boy Scouts to exclude sodomites (p. 8).<\/p>\n
