Peace and justice
by Gadgie, 30 November 2007
The Pope launched an attack on atheism today, saying that it had led to some of the “greatest forms of cruelty and violations of justice” known to mankind.
According to the Pope, “A world which has to create its own justice is a world without hope“.
Oh no! I have got it wrong about our ability to make a better world. We will just have to leave it to the Church won’t we?

“A world which has to create its own justice is a world without hope“.
Indeed.

Friday night - don’t fucking start me.
Is there not something involving trees, entrails and clerics?

Aye — there is — I’ll look it up.

Sorry to be an uneducated Yank, but, Pope who?

P.S., I like Rotten Tomatoes more than IMDB.

I need no lectures from Pope Anything.

Despite this, I will grant Herr Ratzinger has the moral high ground compared to the Archbishop of Canterbury. There is a continuing drip-drip-drip of anti-Israel rhetoric from the Vatican but Anglicans have embraced insanity and called it God. To think the Church of England once stood against the Nazis as Catholics were told by their priests to celebrates Hitler’s birthday. At least the current Pope seems to be slowly steering the ship in a better direction. The Anglicans have decided to aim for the iceberg.

The Anglicans have decided to aim for the iceberg.
It’s an iceberg of their own making. The Anglican Church has been useless ever since Carey, Mrs Thatcher’s handpicked evangelical Archbishop, was in charge, who prepared the ground for the civil war in which they are now so happily engaged, hardline biblical fundamentalists on one side, and pseudo-liberal guardianistas on the other. How much they love each other! What did you expect?
