Sadly yes some do seem to still be thinking that pretending something didn't/doesn't happen means it actually didn't/doesn't.

Come on, give them a break! Like what Christopher Hitchens said, it's a natural consequence of "No Child's Behind Left" policy….

There were a lot of people listening to them this weekend weren't there? The Pope himself seems to be hoping it will all get swept under the carpet.

I agree, Jo. It seems to be the leaders who are well out of touch no matter what religion. Quite scary really if their congregations are listening to them – but I suspect many people just ignore them and follow their faith as best they can.

Religion seems to be doing very well for itself in Vatican City this weekend even if some of the priests are spouting arrant nonsense.

And religious leaders wonder why atheism is on the increase!

Oops, I misheard the priest at Vatican City I thought he was saying quite the opposite. What rubbish. Marilyn wrote about yet another French priest in Rouen. Unfortunately for religious people, churches are run by man. Glad Matt is exonerated from being a sexual abuser, but I bet he didn't know he was responsible for so many other things.

I'm glad I don't drink beer!! What an unfortunate concatenation of circumstances for that poor woman. Don't think much of hubby.
