Fantastic news!!! Here's to another few decades of non-belief!

I nominate a poster from Twitter. "I've no issue giving the Church more money to help with that compensation, and neither have a lot more of us." "If i murder someone tomorrow, and ask a priest in a confessional box for forgiveness, i would not expect him to go to the authorities, or he's broken the...

Byron, would you mind explaining why you feel this is ridiculous? I think we need to be careful about the language that we use on this issue and I do think it goes too far to call this letter 'ridiculous', particularly given who it was written by.

Just in the door from the protest. To say the Catholic protestors were hostile would be an understatement. They didn't talk to us but at us.
