(2) The mercy of God is indeed without end, but so is His respect for human free will. Think of a sinner (let's call him Hieronymus). If Hieronymus prefers holding on to his own sins to coming into the presence of God—which would require him to experience the pain and horror of seeing his own sins as God sees them, and admitting that they are his—God will not compel Hieronymus to enter Heaven against his will. Hieronymus can remain outside forever if he chooses, even though his pain of loss will be so great that, craving distraction from it, he will inflict on himself the full measure of the pain of sense (think of the young people today who feel such pain in their souls that they cut themselves for relief of it)—dreading the pain of God's healing fire more.

Where are critics going to draw the line between when anger becomes indignation?

Consider the money and prestigue that roll into the critics receive while appearing on special Larry King panels, not to mention that the producers that are in one of the protected groups can exert on Mel to “fall in line” Just because the objects of Mel's raging are protected, does not mean they memebers of this protected group are not abusing Mel and hiding when Mel calls them out on the carpet.

The rage you see could as easily be the manifestation from abuse that Mel experienced for decades. You do not know who “taught Mel to hate”. Therein lies the Satan in us all, slothfull indifference to the source of Mel's angst.

I know what an Assie would do, what would someone from Never-Never (Eng)land do? How would you feel?

Let me rephrase it, his actions appear like anger, but it could as easily be indignation. Have you Brits ever heard the term, “Everyone is equal, but some are more equal than others.” American law protects citizens because of race, religion and gender, etc. Consider that in America, everything Mel is, is not protected. Anyone can in these protected groups can discriminate against Mel; and, if Mel complains the offender can hide behind these protections and the clan comes out to protect the offender. It makes it a lot easier to humiliate Mel as was done on Friday. If he responds, we look at his actions as evil, and disregard the history behind his actions. I am sure none of you have experienced this.

Read carefully the first reading from last Sunday, “The lord hears the cry of the poor” but he does not yield unjustly to the poor over a victim that is not poor. Why does the lowly have to be heard by the Lord, before we act on their behalf and hear/discover their side of the story?

You have heard the tapes, but did you “listen” to the tapes. Listen to the “fear” in Ms Grigorieva voice as she pounds Mel’s manhood. Her voice is provocative, with not an ounce of fear. And, consider that every word she said has a dollar sign attached to it.

Further, did you know that a couple years ago a mile of public beach in front of his house was confiscated for religious purposes for which he was not invited?

A comment was made, “Mel was taught to hate.” Has anyone asked, “Mel, who taught you to hate?”
