{Political Error}[30th March 1987]

[Redbook3:76][19870330:0950b]{Political Error}[30th March 1987]

[continued]

Why do I discuss political matters, when I criticise the Church for lobbying*? Because the Church is an institution set up to teach Christ's** message, which was not political but underlay an outlook on the World; I am an Individual who, like any other, must face and try to understand the World, in the light of these (and other) teachings. I am entitled to make mistakes. Most of these notes are (relatively) isolated attempts to grapple with and make sense of the outer and inner Worlds, in the light of each other.

Each other? What does that mean?***

But this [journal] is in no sense a seamless web: more a rag-tag of jottings. Each one is capable of being wrong all on its own, without the help of (or help to) any of the others. I say this because I am aware of the dangers. I must say that, looking back, it reads at times more like the Secret Diary of Adrian Mole, 131/2 (?).****

***-- the outer and inner worlds, presumably. <930331>
