Divorce lawyers in Ireland must be ecstatic.

Someone else would have said it if I had not.  I am impressed with the rapidity of change in Ireland in recent years.  When I was young, they were a backward bunch, but they seem advancing at an amazing pace.  They are doing something very, very right.  Whatever their secret, I wish it could be exported to everyone else.

Okay: blue is members generally, green is mods, red is staff, orange is retired staff, purple donators (unless they are also green, red, or orange), black is no longer a member, and crossed out black is banned.  So what the heck is pink?

Being formerly Catholic myself I can say one positive thing about the west's Catholics, most of them are liberals and really don't like the Vatican fucking around in their affairs. In America most Catholics don't even like the right wing Catholic league.

However that might be, they still finance the Vatican with their donations.

Most Catholics don't even go to church, let alone financing the church. You don't need to obey the Pope and the church to be a Catholic - In fact, my mom thought the pope was an asshole (all of them)

[Brian37]

That is the good thing about secular government, the only thing the Vatican can do is cut off a church from money, but if the members of that church want to go on their own they can, they don't need the permission of the Pope. Fortunately for humanity he only leads those who want to follow him, in reality the only real power he has physically is over that tiny glorified Hotel complex. He knows this which is why he is such a waffler and politician.
