...and the great tower of Buckfast Abbey, with the rounded Devon hills all green beyond, set against a wide blue sky with feathered clouds swept gently across it in the evening sunlight. A delicious fish-pie supper in good company - greeting friends, exchanging news and ideas - and then an excellent first lecture of this weekend Catechetics course, opening wide the mind and heart for good things...
Compline in the Abbey church, and dusk falling as we make our way back across the lawn to our guest house.
Ghastly news from America and a sudden sense of sadness: a great nation failing and falling.

'Ghastly news from America'. Yes indeed; Christian African Americans gunned down in their church, during bible study, by a white racist extremist. And still Americans can freely buy guns for their coming-of-age children.
Only this, for you, wasn't the ghastly news which sees America falling and failing, but the right for homosexual people to marry and live in public stable and loving relationships. I do not understand you and your obsession.
