A British think tank thinks (well, it would, I guess: it’s a think tank) that secularists are treating that nice pope chappie a bit unfairly. They reckon it’s a bit of a witch hunt.
What do you think? Can any persecution of Ratzo the Vile be too much, considering what he stands for, which has been rehearsed time and time again on this blog and others? See this link, which will take you to oodles of posts (including this one – weird, I know, but that’s how it works).
gay and lesbian matters, rationalism, atheism, freethought, secularism — this is the weblog of the Pink Triangle Trust, the only gay humanist charity

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.

Although he personally, is not responsible for the centuries of atrocities committed by the catholic church, his office and ultimately him must assume the mantle of responsibility.
ReplyDeleteUntil he acknowledges these atrocities and asks forgiveness from, at least the still living victims, then yes, he deserves all everyone can throw in his direction.
Then once he has asked forgiveness perhaps an offer of reparation would not go amiss.
However we all know that will not happen as all churches are more about receiving than giving.
Are we being too harsh on dear old Ratzo?
ReplyDeleteNo. We need pope-on-a-rope.
