The Pope - I don't believe this guy!

Actually it was a grammatical error, as I am sure you would agree.

The fact is that you were/are happy to criticise others when you are not above reproach yourself.

Everyone make mistakes, and they are usually picked up on in a light-hearted way, not in a serious attempt to ridicule the poster or discredit the veracity of his/her posting. But then, that does seem to be your style; rubbish the posters opinion and more often than not end up with a childish insult.

And with that I will always call him mental midget.

Any come back on that mental midget?

Just read down to this post. As if you needed to highlight my point any further.

If he's not bothered by the opinion of the masses, does that not prove the point that the church is out of touch and needs to modernise?

Why modernise? They force it down the throats of children at school, the next generation are already indoctrinated by the time they're 16. And for those sensitive types, it's not just the Catholic Church guilty of that exercise.

Link?

My money is on either a mrdonuts or Incognito sockie.
Although if it is the former, his English nightclasses have been a roaring success. He has taken a quantum leap forward to semi-literate.

As AC Grayling tried to say on R4 yesterday morning, if it was anyone else responsible for an organisation who covered up serious crime for decades, he would be arrested...

I can't believe ITV london is spending over 15 minutes on this nonsense

You and your type have only started bleating on about our education system since we started outperforming non denominational schools.

Catholic schools outperform non denominational schools on every level in the West of Scotland.

Long may they continue.

Actually, I've only really been bleating on about it for the last four or five years. I really do think religion should be taken out of the school. All religions. It's got nothing to do with some disguised sectarian bile. As I have said before, my mother’s half of the family are all Catholic, that makes me 'half Catholic' (well it doesn't really as I was christened CofS, but you see my point) so I feel I am entirely justified to put my point across.

I am an atheist and that is why I wish religion was taken out of the education system. At the end of the day when you teach a child of five years old he'll go to hell if he's bad, you're doing some serious imprinting to that child. Whenever I talk about religion in schools I do always refer back to Scotland as that is the education system I know and in my opinion the most divisive church in Scotland is the Catholic Church. There are no CofS state schools in Scotland, the general assembly believe in non-denominational schooling. There are 2,722 state schools in Scotland, made up of 385 Catholic, one Jewish and three Episcopalian. Do you see what those figures are pointing out, who is creating the divide? I can't seem to find the figures, but I would bet my last dollar on the fact that the majority of those schools are in the West of Scotland. There is a reason why Glasgow has more Orange and Nationalist marches than N.Irelands largest two cities combined.

What you see is some bowler hat wearing, drum beating bigot and to be honest I couldn't be farther from that. I only do it because it noises you up. I have been in a Lodge on three occasions in my life. Each time prior to football games and because it served cheap beer.

However, what I see in you is someone who thinks the right to attend a Catholic school is more important than attending Mass and the Sacraments. That is not faith - that is tribalism.

Ah, now Masonic lodges are meant to be non-sectarian. However, you try applying for membership in the West of Scotland with the name Patrick O'Donnelly and I think that myth would be swept away quite quick.

I've never been in a Masonic lodge yet, but my module exams are getting held in my local one here in October (South of England).
