Yeah, that place out 'there'. Anything not really Cambodia related should go here.

Hello OP,
A THREAD is a topic of discussion. You do not need to open a new thread for every fresh comment that you have to make on the same subject. When you want to talk about the same subject of discussion you can just add your new comment to the old thread.
Same topic, started by you from about 2 days ago: https://cambodiaexpatsonline.com/the-res ... 10454.html :please: (again)

So many threads have been started on the same subjects, do you think that you could possibly contain your political communications to just one or two threads ? Like ONE thread for Theresa, ONE thread for Pauline, and perhaps one thread or two for Donald duck. That would be kind. More or less. Thank you.

Yeah, too many useless threads that dont say anything and are rarely answered.
Silence, exile, and cunning.

FROM
*THE INDEPENDENT*

... the reason she is being acknowledged by the Vatican in this ostentatious and rather costly fashion is much more to do with the fact that she represents the greatest PR victory of the Church in the past hundred years. A suitably charismatic appearance, a penchant for photo opportunities with Princess Diana (an incredibly successful and symbiotic brand collaboration if ever there was one), and a global fundraising brand (Mother Teresa’s Missionaries of Charity has raised and deployed billions of dollars across the world) – this, all this combined with the public’s belief that Mother, or Saint, Teresa preached a deliciously palatable message of peace and love which bordered on the hippie. I’m not sure when the Roman Catholic Church last had an advocate who enjoyed her level of profile, at least not in a positive sense. I’m fairly sure that most members of the public would much more readily recognise an image of her than any of the last few Popes.
