He's fallen in with bad company. Last seen leaving the Castle with Richard Dawkins


"I feel sorry for the Pope and all old Catholic priests. Imagine having a wasted life to look back on and no sex," Dawkins wrote on his Twitter page. The God Delusion author was referring to the life of celibacy that Catholic priests are required to take when choosing the path of ministry.

I'm afraid you must make up your own mind on that! On Paddy Power he's 4:1.


But there's more. St Malachy prophesied that the next pope (112th - Ratzinger was 111th) will be the last, and calls him Petrus Romanus as a clue. He will be the false prophet who betrays the church to the anti-christ, just as Judas Iscariot betrayed Christ.


Tarcisio Bertone's middle name is Pietro and he hails from Romano, near Turin... (cue music from the Twilight Zone).

sad and testing times for the faithful. Whilst I have big big issues with the nazi peedophile virgin mary death cult of Catholicism Inc., it must be shitty for the people who have to deal with the emerging reality of these fascists' MO.consolidatting power and billions of EUR into the hands of sexually repressed mysogonistic virgins was never going to end well.

I don't think the allegations against CO'B, if found true, would make him a peadophile. It's alleged he groped young men, not underage children. If proven to be true, he abused his postion of power, and will go down as a massive hypocrite...but some of us already knew that about religion.

Just picking up on woodrot's sympathy for the disillusioned faithful, I bet very few people lose their faith over this. I wish more would, but they won't.


I am a fraud lawyer. One of the interesting things about my job is seeing, time and time again, how apparently intelligent, careful people fall for absolutely transparent bullshit in the hands of the right con man (normally is a man).


I see zero difference between the average fraudster I deal with and the average religious leader I see parading about in our culture. It's a con designed to part you from your money, people, a very powerful con. I'm sure the average priest is convinced of the validity of the bullshit himself - but ALL self-respecting fraudsters believe their own patter. You should hear the lies they tell themselves (and hence me).


Wake up and leave the collective delusion, people. World would be a much better place if you did....

yup, I know, but I decided to take a super soaraway Sun take on the whole thing.


Peedophilia is well defined & has hard legal boundaries as to age of those abused etc, but its splitting hairs in many ways, as any sexual predation that uses the abusers position of power and the abuseds vunerability/ malleability is effectively the same thing, albeit to different degrees blates.


Wasnt cardinal Sin voted the most homophobic wanker in the UK last year by Gay Times or summit ?


what a rotter


As with most religious groupings, the rank and file are usually decent people - its the leaders who are at the root of the problem

      I hadn't looked at the actual posts on Instagram. That's sad, then. The shop opening hours are still shown at the top of the page. I  guess changing them wasn't uppermost in her mind under the circumstances.

      Review for kitchen fitter - Top Marx

      By alshaw40 · Posted

      I want to recommend the kitchen fitters Top Marx kitchens. They were excellent from the communication, the planning and the fitting. John did a fantastic job of of fitting and worked around and solved many of the issues we had with Ikea who we purchased from. John gave lots of helpful advice and support. We would definitely use them again for any kitchen work. I have added before and after photos.
