Easton Le commented on Debra Stevenson's blog post Some Wiccans and their seeking approval from Christians"I suppose in regions of the country where Christianity is a major influence in local culture working towards a level of acceptance would be in Wicca's best interest.

Loren Miller replied to matthew greenberg's discussion Pope Francis says even Atheists go to Heaven"Hmmm, an outreach to atheists from the pope?
