Self-Godwin of the day.

Apparently, Benny was just saying that the UK's equality bill inhibits the RC Church's freedom of belief.

Which puts Catholics in the same difficult situation that Nazi sympathisers have. Or folk who think that black folk are inherently inferior. Or some other bigoted folk....like the normal Anti-Catholicism of, for example, the Northern Irish Protestants.
Nah, I reckon we should go back to the old ways and all Catholics should be banned from practising their religion and forced to pay fines for non-attendance at Church of England services.

Or is that too far back?

Still, it's comforting to know that Catholics still can't be Prime Minister, or marry the heir to the throne, given the opinions of Catholicism's leader. (Well that's me out of the picture then, unless I officially convert to Protestantism.)

Mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa.....

somewhere buried behind fear, irrationality, guilt and bureaucracy that presents the Catholic public opinion, there's a beautiful religion full of magic and light.
I wouldn't know because outside of hints - I haven't seen it.

bigots are full of fear, irrationality and guilt.
They have my pity, but I'd rather they are never heard from in any matter....

do you want to be prime minister or marry the heir to the throne?
