The Pope's choice to run the UK inquiry into the whole horror, Cardinal Cormac Murphy O'Connor, has blamed it all on the creeping menace of 'secularisation'. Unless that's the new term for sexual psychopaths, I'm confused. Out here in Secular World we generally believe child rape is wrong. We have not only a judicial system but also, most of us, a conscience. Clue for clerical rapists: that's the bit of you that tells you when you're doing something harmful to others, so that even when your own bosses don't hold you to account, you take responsibility yourself and stop. That way, when you somehow escape prosecution for a crime that in Secular World would put you in prison, you can still Do the Right Thing. See?
Of course, you'd think, being so big on Guilt and Sin and all, this lot would feel just a little badly about wrecking the lives of so many innocent children on a scale that amounts to psychic genocide, but that's the brilliance of their particular brand of DoubleThink. They are, after all, the people who helped promote anti-semitism by labelling Jews the killers of Christ, and supposed concocters of sinister, global conspiracies against nice, harmless Christians. Time to re-examine that one, I think. When it comes to international conspiracies, the Jews can't hold a seven-branched candlestick to these guys.
