He's fallen in with bad company. Last seen leaving the Castle with Richard Dawkins


"I feel sorry for the Pope and all old Catholic priests. Imagine having a wasted life to look back on and no sex," Dawkins wrote on his Twitter page. The God Delusion author was referring to the life of celibacy that Catholic priests are required to take when choosing the path of ministry.

I'm afraid you must make up your own mind on that! On Paddy Power he's 4:1.


But there's more. St Malachy prophesied that the next pope (112th - Ratzinger was 111th) will be the last, and calls him Petrus Romanus as a clue. He will be the false prophet who betrays the church to the anti-christ, just as Judas Iscariot betrayed Christ.


Tarcisio Bertone's middle name is Pietro and he hails from Romano, near Turin... (cue music from the Twilight Zone).

sad and testing times for the faithful. Whilst I have big big issues with the nazi peedophile virgin mary death cult of Catholicism Inc., it must be shitty for the people who have to deal with the emerging reality of these fascists' MO.consolidatting power and billions of EUR into the hands of sexually repressed mysogonistic virgins was never going to end well.
I don't think the allegations against CO'B, if found true, would make him a peadophile. It's alleged he groped young men, not underage children. If proven to be true, he abused his postion of power, and will go down as a massive hypocrite...but some of us already knew that about religion.

Just picking up on woodrot's sympathy for the disillusioned faithful, I bet very few people lose their faith over this. I wish more would, but they won't.


I am a fraud lawyer. One of the interesting things about my job is seeing, time and time again, how apparently intelligent, careful people fall for absolutely transparent bullshit in the hands of the right con man (normally is a man).


I see zero difference between the average fraudster I deal with and the average religious leader I see parading about in our culture. It's a con designed to part you from your money, people, a very powerful con. I'm sure the average priest is convinced of the validity of the bullshit himself - but ALL self-respecting fraudsters believe their own patter. You should hear the lies they tell themselves (and hence me).


Wake up and leave the collective delusion, people. World would be a much better place if you did....

yup, I know, but I decided to take a super soaraway Sun take on the whole thing.


Peedophilia is well defined & has hard legal boundaries as to age of those abused etc, but its splitting hairs in many ways, as any sexual predation that uses the abusers position of power and the abuseds vunerability/ malleability is effectively the same thing, albeit to different degrees blates.


Wasnt cardinal Sin voted the most homophobic wanker in the UK last year by Gay Times or summit ?


what a rotter


As with most religious groupings, the rank and file are usually decent people - its the leaders who are at the root of the problem

    • The skatepark has been a great use of a derelict site, but surely the point is that that site should not have been allowed (and should not continue to be allowed) to have become derelict in the first place. As someone who couldn't live much closer to the Grove Tavern, I would welcome any redevelopment efforts. The current state of the pub is untenable, wasteful and ultimately an embarrassment for the local area.  The concerns mentioned about young people and the lack of public space for them to spend time are totally valid. And I agree, its very inspiring that a group of teenagers have built the skate park and created something out of nothing. But that shouldn't prevent the site being turned into something that is of utility to the whole community - whether that be housing, supermarkets or a pub/restaurant. 
    • Crikey. I made one comment  relating to the ice cream flavour, which referred to a previous thread which you started.  That thread was also about a specific named local cafe (not the same one). You subsequently deleted most of your very long posts on it, which included one in which you made false and insulting assumptions about another forum member (not me). Luckily nobody had quoted your posts  in their responses, so the content is no longer on here. In view of the subject of that thread (you and your son didn't like the vegan hot chocolate) I thought my comment above about the ice cream flavour was funny. I'm sorry if you found it "sarcastic". Maybe we have a  different sense of humour. I thought the rest of my posts on this thread  were helpful. I'm sorry if you didn't. I'm not deliberately "replying to every one of your posts " !!! What a very strange thing to say! To the best of my knowledge I haven't replied more to your posts than to anyone else's! I post a lot on this forum.  If you click on my name you can see all my posts.  I have lived in the area since 1991, and I have an interest in what is going on. I've been posting on here almost since the forum started. I am  retired, apart from promoting and  running music gigs, which takes up a lot of my time, however yes!  I do have many other  things to do!  I don't know if they are "better" than posting on here.  You post on here! So do many other people! If everyone had "better things to do" there would be no forum! I am  "out" on here, and always have been. I don't have anything to hide behind a forum name, and I have always gone under my own name.  You can come and find me any time if you want to address your apparent grievances with me in person. I am glad your son is better.
    • Thankfully he's better Sue, thanks to your usual sarcasm - can always rely on the fact you have nothing better to do than reply to every one of my posts. Clearly I'll have to change my ED forum name 😉 Apologies to anyone offended. We've all eaten in this cafe many many times so I've put this down to a one off. Yes obviously kids get sick. Gosh I didn't realise when ED forum became so full of passive aggressive, sarcastic people. Won't be posting again in a hurry - cue the afore mentioned type of replies in response no doubt... Oh and this incident was most definitely the icecream or person serving it having dirty hands or gloves, as my son was fine after he was sick. So no bug.  For the avoidance of doubt nobody meant for this to affect any business, so once again apols for mentioning by name. Happy icecream eating everyone.
