But we pay particular attention to the spiritual dimension [of penance].

In the Roman Catholic Church, by centuries-old tradition Lent begins on Ash Wednesday, this year falling on March 1. Ashes symbolize penitence and the frailty of human life.

To me personally, the book is not blasphemous. This is just a thriller. But associating the events [described in the book] with real historical [events] is nonsense. We should bear in mind which genre the work belongs to.

To be quite honest, I haven't really been paying attention.

Here I was, amid 500 tits, and I was principally paying attention to the social aspects of the event. It was neither puritanical nor prurient.

This is a landmark case and intended to bring attention to the genocide.
