It's amazing to me that the RCC can be so blind as to think that oustide forces are taking it down. They remind me of an idiotic student that blames all of its failures on the teacher.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHA, get this...seriously guys, the CHRISTIAN CHURCH is saying that not being part of the christian church makes you intolerant. The entire christian church is built upon prejudice and the condemnation of others, islam, homosexuals, women, scientists, atheists and pretty much anyone else who disagrees with them. Thy hypocrisy knows no bounds, mister cardinal.

To believe in the sense meant by theists is to reject through caprice all other believes that's is just as good. To believe in the theistic manner is not merely to promote intolerance. It is intolerance in its very self.

Ironically, Paul, this is from that exact article.

Quote:The cardinal, who stepped down as leader of England’s Catholics three years ago, declared: ‘In the name of tolerance it seems to me tolerance is being abolished.’
