The Book of Job confirms this by stating, "If we accept good things from God, shall we not accept evil?" Job 2:10. The Pope does not represent the PD community; he represents the CAtholic community, and therefore has a right and responsiblity to proclaim his view of affliction in his own terms. ----- Regards Mary Ann
