Anglo Son, and Peaches, I see that you two share a brain. I know of a sausage factory that might be able to power it up a bit.

First we need to figure out how to get the bishops pregnant then see if they change their minds
YOu may see this as ridiculous but thats almost what the church has done all over the world with children.
The world needs a big abortion - of the power of the church. May God bless that Indian woman who was a victim of the sexist evil church.
Since about 75% of hte irish support marriage equality, I bet that the people by a significant majority support abortion. Especially where the church continues to condemn birth control.
Women all over the world need to say Free at last, free at last free at last of a sexist church.

I see censorship is alive and well and living at Teach O'Dowdy. I posted two identical posts on different articles and Dowdy took them down after an hour. No obscenities in them, no profanities .............. that's most probably why he censored them. Lefty Looney Liberal types for Free Speech? My ass.

It seems GavinE that reasonableness is in short supply in relation to the commentaries of the "pro-choice" lobbyists

"Free Speech" does not allow "Hate Speech". You guys obviously haven't heard - or just don't care.

@anglo-norman and GavinE: Fr Darcy can't speak out. See "Celebrity priest Fr Brian D’Arcy is latest to be censored by the Vatican," Apr 27, 2012. While tracking down that info, I found some typical anti-Protestant comments to share with GavinE: Nicoletta | Apr 27, 2012, 03:43 PM EDT. "Why doesn't this celebrity priest move his pulpit into a Church of Ireland Church and be done with it. Oh, and he could take the dissenting nuns with him - just leave the faithful ones, there are plenty of those too, thank God." And NYCFiredog | Apr 27, 2012, 01:47 PM EDT. "....hey Fawder [Darcy]! Go down the road and join the Unitarians. The Anglicans and COI is crashing into the rocks and some are re-joining the Mother Church, but I'm sure they'll take ya. Don't let the door hit ya where the good Lord split ya. And I'll pray for your soul. Truly." And mairint | Apr 27, 2012, 10:16 AM EDT. "Sure if Fr. Darcy and his pals are so discontented with the Catholic Church why don't they just pop over the road to that other church where they can forgo their celibacy, have their wimmin 'priests' and all the other carry-on that would make them happy little chaps." Don't notice those, huh?

GavinE, don't forget that I was agreeing with seanomelb's comment that anglo-norman's calling the Catholic Church "an abomination" is offensive, bogoted. Then I added "mairint's rabid ranting about 'fiminists propaganda,' SherLinton's cursing out feminists and conjuring up hell for us, Scrivner's delusion of a 17-week fetus as a 'person,' the aptly-named Kit Marlowe (killed in 1593 over a bar bill in Bull House) calling abortion 'murder.' THESE TOO are demonizing and bigoted comments, but you don't object to them, only to anti-Catholic (and anti-Semitic, I'll take your word for) comments. And I cannot help wondering: Why the tunnel vision? Do you not see the other comments as equally bigoted?

GavinE, have you not seen comments by Phlutie Phen and his crowd of haters about the "proddy pope" and other demonizing of the ABC and American ECUSA primates and C of E? And as for anti-Semitism, as you mention, there's plenty of it, along with Islamophobia and other bigotries. You're just plain wrong that "the other churches ... are never attacked on these boards." If you wish, I will take the time to use the search engine to find and quote to you some of the diatribes against Protestants that I've dealt with on "these boards." See, the problem with bigotry is that it cannot be confined; it overflows from one target to another, so talk of anyone being exempt from it, once we turn a blind eye and deaf ear to ANY form of it, is foolish.
