still clinging to Transubstantiation and Papal Infallibility - I think?

Eh??? I didn't quote that quote!!!!

Be fair - papal infallibity was only declared a couple of hundred years ago. It says that in certain circumstance the Pope can make statements that are without possibility of error. (Not that he can't sin, or can't make mistakes otherwise). Such statements are that Mary was born without sin (Immaculate conception) and that she ascended to heaven (assumption of Mary).

Look Corporal, you wouldn't want to f**k with those boys.

Oh yes, mercenaries loyal to their contracts (historically, that is).

At one point the best (and most ethical) fighting force in Europe.

Allowed? It ought to be actively encouraged, provided we can upgrade the literal meaning of "heretics" to incorporate politicians etc.

"Do you believe in the.......... etc etc etc" = No = Heretic *

Thats a lot of them burnt..... Misses Our "Tone" though.....

* Unfortunately me too!

That would be an ecumenical matter...

As in "ecumenical" with the truth?

[Churchill]

What about apologising for burning heretics?

Or is that still allowed?

What? The burning or apologising?

I was talking about the Vatican Guard, not the hand wringing Nancy boys that they're protecting.

Sorry CM.

It took the Catholic Church 700 years to apologise for their role in the destruction of the Knights Templar.

And probably 1000 years to apologise for the Paedohphile priests mess.

That's if they actually acknowledge it first.

Yeah, but be fair, the (Vatican) troops get a penknife upgrade every year!!!

The Pope has forgiven the Beatles for John Lennon's remark in 1966 that they were more popular than Jesus.

That's pretty good. It took them 390 years to forgive Galileo for saying that the Earth moved round the Sun.

Who is "The Pope"? Some kind of 60s heavy metal band?
