Mr Wood was speaking as international representative of the International Humanist and Ethical Union, the world umbrella group for secular and humanist organisations.

Darn right. Doubt anybody will take notice and actually do anything, but darn right none the less.

Read "The Case Against the Pope" by Geoffrey Robinson QC if you are still unconvinced of the scandalous cover up by the Pope when he was Cardinal and in charge of all cases. When will our politicians stop their obscene groveling to this odious individual?.

Dear Keith Portentous Wood! Has no-one ever told him that something doesn't become true simply by virtue of being said in a declamatory tone? Rather than reading fallacious screeds by Geoff Robertson, he'd do well to sit down with some Chesterton, starting with "The Song of the Strange Ascetic".
