    I'm sure you agree with my sentiments on the Church leader, Robert.

    To the pope!

    Yes indeed AS. To the pope. A man who is leader of an organisation that has lasted two thousand years. It will take more than a few rants on p.ie to change a status quo which I relish nd delight in.

    Be sure to have a look at the Süddeutsche Zeitung site in the morning, Robbie!

    When the Paedocracy of Christ the Holy Pedarast stop covering up the rape of little kids then they will stop getting such a hard time. Not likely to happen soon, is it?

    Correction, all organisations that operate without oversight or transparency follow similar patterns. We've all read Lord of the Flies, that's the way people turn when they can do whatever the f&^% they like.

    Of couse, sporting the moniker AS means bringing inserting your own anti-catholic rhetoric into nearly every discussion is always on topic

    I don't know what to make of Ratzinger. There's lots not to like about him, but much of the stuff being thrown at him seems to be unadulterated codswallop.
    I have to say I have some sympathy with your position.
    For example, an organisation which holds a particular set of pronouncements to be infallible simply, but only in limited circumstances, mind, but the list of those circumstances is of course itself infallible, and we know this because, etc... simply shows itself up as incapable of supporting a reasoned argument.

    I make a sincere attempt to stay on topic. Can you identify a place where I illegitimately injected my own anti-catholic rhetoric?

    By the way, I have two tunes that seem to reprise: anti-catholicism and anti-Fianna Fáilism. I try to keep the two separate, but sometimes a certain overlap is inevitable. The moniker, for example, is a jokose reference to something very silly that out most recent former Taoiseach said during his time in the office.

    Otherwise, hear, hear.
