The Relic


This is the second of the Bobby images. I really need to develop two rolls of film, so I might have to continue this series later. Let me see what else the digital stuff yields. But let us enjoy this image for now.

Bobby is a Right To Life advocate. He speaks for audiences on this topic, upon which he knows much. He recently went to Ireland, and was interviewed by this Catholic gentleman.

After the interview was over, the man was so moved by the story of Bobby's family that he said, "You have to have this." He reached inside his shirt and pulled out this Benedictine cross. Bobby tried to refuse it, but the man wouldn't hear of it. The cross was blessed by Pope John Paul. Bobby's new friend said that Bobby needed it more than he did.

Bobby wears if often.

I love this photo and f'ing hate this issue. I'm catholic. I feel if you're grown up enough to make a baby you need to be grown up enough to deal with it's life but I know biology. I know how fickle life is with itself. I know that the tragedy inherent in the birth of a child from a rape or incest out ways the tradegy of it's passing. I hate it. I have come down on all the big things in my life. I level and stand by the worst decisions. This issue is torture. Damn straight Bobby needs that cross.
