Of course one day a more diplomatic middle-of-the-road politician will appear, and things will get better. In the meantime I fear for the EU with Macron at the helm next year. I'm sorry that you suffered at the hands of Soeur Modesta; I think we all had one of those in whatever subject it might have been.
