I am personally not very impressed by the fact that the Vatican took a stand on this issue, even though they took the "right stand". They have taken so many other idiotic stands,on so many important issues, that this one might go unnoticed, even if it is right.

Not to mention the fact that the statement is more than self-serving. A religious power stating that other religious teachings are wrong. Hm,correct me if I'm wrong, but they've been doing this ever since the Council of Nicaea some 1500 years ago, with various means and in various ways.

And Blacknad, it is not Bush that should worry you. What is more worrisome is that he got elected as a president...
