Given my last two cocks have been about the Catholics, this one is too good not to share. Stephen Fry and Peter Hitchens took on Doris Karloff and some Nigerian cock-hat, archbishop too busy maybe, in a debate.
Just read it in all its glory.
The standout paragraph for me though and one, if I could be arsed, to memorise is the litany of the Catholic churches evils:
The Crusades, the Inquisition, anti-semitism, treatment of women, missionaries (especially the knock-on wiping out of native American populations), slavery, the treatment of Gallileo, child abuse, collusion with the Nazis, collusion with Mussolini, collusion with the Croatian Ustasi, collusion with Franco, the sale of indulgences, the treatment of homosexuals, and, of course, the policy on the use of condoms and their “inability” to prevent the spread of HIV.
In the end, 268 voted for and 1,876 against from a starting point of 678 people for the motion (Catholic Church is a force for good) and 1,102 against it.
Utterly indefensible. Catholics: time to overthrow your masters.
