There was, for example, the
intolerance between Anglicans and Roman Catholics, something I had
witnessed from youth up. When I became an adult, I easily spotted all
around me a life marked by a materialistic neglect of spirit and soul. And
most recently there was the pronounced urban decay with an attendant lack
of faith and hope. A visitor to Liverpool would readily recognise how the Anglican and Roman Catholic cathedrals seem to face one another across the city. However formidable these edifices may be, I remember being struck by the seeming helplessness of the ecclesiastical authorities to do much to mitigate the horror of the Liverpool riots. |
