misinformation and good intentions

So today, my mother (of all people) tries to explain about the history of a particular Catholic church in Rome. she blunders up the explanation by giving half-information and to an audience of apostates (some). One particular apostate uses the misquote of my mother to bring it full circle and mock the Catholic Church. Although my mother meant well, the lesson serves that greater damage is done with misquoted/out-of-context statements. Moral of the story: The road to hell is paved with the best intentions.
