One of the creepier sites I've run across lately: Ratzinger Fan Club
And subsequently, one of the strangest and most unexpected places to find an article that really interested me: http://darwincatholic.blogspot.com/2005/09/legends-of-fall.html The gist being, the catholic tradition leads many to fall back on the idea that "bad stuff happens because of the humans who do bad stuff..." Ellen hosting the Emmy's, Gay in the French Quarter, etc... Did these folks ever stop to think that a) these natural disasters happened long before Adam and ever saw this garden? and b) how would our world function without these geography altering events? How would continents be formed, mountains project from the earth, forests be rejuvenated?
Anyway, thought provoking article from a most unlikely source... Can't even admit how I found it.. :)

Thought provoking indeed...BTw, thanks for the advice. Any little bit helps =)
I must confess to being thought "one of the strangest and most unexpected places". Being strange and unexpected has always been one of my goals.
Interestingly, this line of thinking is far from new, though the sillier variety has always been more common. Aquinas (basing his thinking on Greek philosophy) insisted that disasters, death and 'nature red in tooth and claw' in general must have been the same before 'the fall' as after since things do not change their fundamental natures. His argument was: Lions must always have had sharp teeth, and sharp teeth are meant for the tearing up of people and animals, thus lions would have eaten just as bloodily were there no fall.
Sometimes the middle ages aren't as low brow as one might think...
