Well worth heeding the wise words of Albino Luciani

Pope John Paul I, aka Albino Luciani, when Patriarch of  Venice (1969 - 1973) wrote a series of articles in the form of letters, each addressed to a character, real or fictional from the past. Among them were Dickens, Scott, Twain, Goethe and Bernard of Clairvaux.

In a letter to Charles Dickens he wrote:

"We are a single boat full of people who have now been brought together, but in a stormy sea. If we want to avoid serious clashes, this is the rule: all for one and one for all; press on with what unites us, forget what divides us."
