POPSPay Attention to the Pope’s Onion but is rather its best ally in the fight for reason to survive the postmodern belief that truths worthy of being transmitted down the generations don’t exist. For him this is not a mere abstract, philosophical issue. He believes it is a tragedy when kids at school ask what car Napoleon was driving in Marengo, or if Salvador Dali is a relative of Muhammad Ali (by the way, I didn’t make up these two examples). Benedict is convinced that if the new generations have nothing important to learn at a deeper, human level, both faith and reason lose. Even worse, humanity loses. My humble suggestion: pay attention to what the pope says, but pay special attention to his less quotable words. Those will not be cotton candy.

One such, La Belle Dame Sans Merci, was a banshee who attracted mortal lovers for her own amusement. inspiring them with a hopeless infatuation and then leaving them bereft of will of purpose until they withered on the lake, 'alone and palely loitering.' As the languishing knight here sleeps, he dreams of the pale kings and warriors whom La Belle Dame 'holds in thrall' (ref. to last image, same site)

POPSThe acid test "It may be that we can use LSD to answer questions like: what is a religious experience? What is consciousness? What is sense of self? What stops us spending a whole afternoon looking at one leaf on a tree?" McGregor adds
