Watch this space. Another fascinating story from the Catholic Church.
At least this guy is not a pedophile, just a fraud.
The church is up to its old trick of moving around its priestly sinners and guess where he has ended up.

The following article by author Dorothy Rowe was published in our print journal.

Dorothy Rowe is author of the book
“What Should I Believe” published by Routledge…………………………...Ed.

As scientists prove that faith can relieve pain, distinguished psychologist Dorothy Rowe examines the case for and against religion.

Laaden Fletcher has written this short history of the Humanist movement in WA from its inception in 1965 to 2005.
It gives a very good idea of what the Society attempts to do.
We can only hope the next chapter will show that we have continued to build the Society and justified the efforts of our predecessors.

This is really LAADEN'S BLOG.

Here is a quote from a website called "catholicculture" which gives the Catholic viewpoint on the news of the day.
Their website is interesting in another respect as well. If you want to make comments you can, but first you must contribute money.

Thus they ensure:
1. A good flow of something they love.
and
2. That only comments favorable to their viewpoint are likely to be made.

On this website:
1. You don't have to pay us anything to comment.
and
2. You can criticize us if you wish. Some do!

Remember that statement regarding life in Nazi Germany.
This is not a quote but the gist of it was:
'When the Gestapo came for homosexuals I didn't protest because I wasn't a homosexual.
When they came for the Jews I didn't protest because I wasn't a Jew.
When they came for me .........etc.'

Religious gangsters now have homosexuals under attack. The Ugandan parliament is making laws to attack them and in so doing to suppress free speech at the same time.

Clearly this sort of thing is part of a larger agenda to attack human rights in general.

I often puzzle over the fact that people everywhere have the capacity to make hard nosed, logical judgments in all matters of business, yet switch off the critical circuits in their minds when they are told about life after death, miracles and other similar things.
We all know people who believe Jesus was raised from the dead and who expect to go bodily into heaven on the last day of normal human existence.
If you try to sell these same people a dodgy car or a house without proper title they would laugh at you.
How can the human mind accommodate such contrasts?

This article was previously published in our print magazine and I consider it should have a wider circulation because Phillip Adams makes the point so well.

PINNACLE OF CREATION

Despite the harsh lessons of Darwin—that we are but a twig on the tree of life—we see ourselves as the pinnacle of creation.

I received this email from Dave Banner raising the issue of abortion and whether it is justified.
The news article deals with the interesting legal issues involved in the trial of the man who killed the doctor.
I think we can leave it to the Kansas courtroom and jury to sort that out.
What is more in our line of business is the question of abortion itself. I hope you will give us your considered views.

Hi Des,

I know I'm getting old but I haven't heard that since I was a Catholic schoolboy being lectured to by priests and monks in the 1950's.
Of course Tony is right. It doesn't matter if a woman is uneducated and lacking in cultural qualities and has no interest in self improvement. There is no point at all in being hard working, cultured, interesting and good natured if you have had the DREADED PRE MARITAL SEX. You have really ruined your life.
Its OK for us blokes of course. Didn't Tony himself have some sort of affair before marriage.
