Now I'm mad...

I see your point, and it's a good one. But while it perhaps isn't surprising I do still find it shocking and appalling and despicable and, as such, worthy of comment

but the story isn't about any of the above and i thought that the thread was

i don't know about forcing a billion people to do what they don't want to, i don't know about all these stories that people tell about covering up paedophilia, or about the lateran pact (you didn't do well there in relation to not making a reference, by making a reference) - i really don't so i'm not commenting on them - can you share any FACTS about these? and about the pope being a nazi?

Organised Religion does a lot of good I have to admit-I know people who are and who do it for the right reasons

this particular example doesnt fall into that category.

Stil, at least they didnt consign the girl to Eternal damnation, which is progress. of sorts.

Hitler Jugend innit -his views on the position of women and Gays are not exactly 21st - or even 20th - century

Odd isnt it , how a legion of ( officially ) celibate males are deemed to be so utterly sage like, they can force their antideuvial opinions on something they have no experience of, onto others.

I would hardly go and consult a vegan for advice on the best cuts of meat at William Rose, yet the catholic church is deemed an acceptable opinion on sexuality and its issues.
