Though I’m not Roman Catholic, I really enjoy reading The Catholic Thing, a blog for articles on culture, science, philosophy, and, of course, religion. In this blog post, Patrick Fagan discusses the effects of marriage and religion worship.

The Data That Do Not Fit

Karadzic: Sarajevo and Srebrenica crimes are myths
Tuesday, March 2nd, 2010The Balkan Wars of the 1990s are a very, very touchy subject for many people, even those who are either members of the Yugoslavian diaspora or their friends. I myself attend a Serbian Orthodox church, and I lived in the Balkans for a considerable amount of time living in Macedonia, so my natural affinity is for my fellow congregants. The problem is that thuggery was allowed to usurp religion in the area, and butchers on all three sides hijacked religion for their own purposes. I’ve been following the Radovan Karadžić trial with great interest because I’ve been waiting to hear his rationale for what he’s been charged with, essentially genocide. He claims that the seige of Sarajevo was nothing but a myth, and that what Bosnian Serbs did was “just and holy.” Say what you will about the merits of Karadžić’s claims, but the fact does remain that Serbs were butchered about as badly as Bosniaks and Croats were.
