It's to be hoped that the reason 150 delegates crammed into a room designed for 50 was so that they could satisfy themselves that the speaker really was going to spout such utter rubbish that they wouldn't wish to miss it, for the laugh. But I doubt it, somehow.
This was at the Lambeth Conference, where they heard Cardinal Walter Kaspar, president of the Vatican's Pontifical Council for Promoting Christian Unity, proclaim that homosexuality is a disordered behaviour that must be condemned.
Quoting from a key document on Anglican and Catholic relations he told the meeting, "Homosexuality is a disordered behaviour. The activity must be condemned; the traditional approach to homosexuality is comprehensive . . . A clear declaration about this theme must come from the Anglican Communion."
This utter excuse for a human being said he was saddened that dialogue between the Anglican Communion and the Roman Catholic Church had been seriously compromised over the issues of women's ordination and homosexuality. These developments, he said, had also caused the Communion to enter into a period of dispute.

We welcome lively and challenging comments. However, please try to stay on topic, be polite and do not use abusive, racist or sexist language, and do not incite your readers to violence or other antisocial behaviour, or your comment will be deleted. This isn't censorship: it's a case of staying within the bounds of decency and having an eye to the law, although we realise the law will be different in different countries.
We do not bar anonymous comments at the moment, but we would prefer that those commenting play fair and use their name or at least a regular nom de plume. It does show a confidence in your convictions. We know, too, that it's easy to use a false name and be effectively anonymous, but, again, we appeal to your sense of good practice. Even a wacky nom de plume is better, since at least readers will come to know that contributor and maybe remember her or his previous comments.
Blatant commercial advertising will be removed.
