Your article dealing with Jesus and His brethren is another crude example of how the Roman Catholic Church bases her questionable doctrines on weird assumptions and sinful speculations rather than on the revealed Word...
After their solitary confinement ended, they had the use of a library (Balzac, Hugo, etc.). and were allowed to play tennis with crude rackets and a thin rubber ball. Lieut. Cameron, a handy man with an accordion, wangled a cheap Russian model and taught the others to play.

Three thugs arrive in a small Arizona mining town to hold up the bank. While the robbers prepare their plans, while the bomb ticks away in the mind, the moviegoer stares with itchy horror into the faces and the lives of the innocent bystanders who will...
