Ye Gods!

It would appear that the repeated ugliness of Bishop Fred Henry's unique brand of Catholicisim is spreading through the Roman Catholic Church like a slow moving tumor.

Over here, we have Cardinal O'Brien in Scotland showing a brilliant bit of bigotry laden crap:

In comments described as "obnoxious", Cardinal Keith O'Brien said he "tolerated" people who lived differently, but added that he must "take a stand when Christianity itself is questioned in this country".


My goodness - I would have expected something better than this from one of the "Princes of the Church". Of course, it's no better than this evangelical nut-case, either.

Is there anyone left in the church hierarchy that sees the compassionate God that Christ spoke of, or have they all turned back to the angry, judging God of the old Testament? It's sad when over a matter of personal beliefs, these people find it necessary to treat others as inferior.
