His advice is probably good, but les salauds (to use another French expression) won't take it.

Oh noes, Hans Küng is too evident!
The renowned Catholic intellectual Hans Küng is too damn evident. In the French sense, of course. Not only did he buy himself a (gasp!) nice car nearly over 40years ago at the time of Vatican II; he has now said what many others are thinking about the morally and intellectually bankrupt Catholic Church.

You seem oblivious to the scientific evidence underwriting the Church’s defense of the moral status of the human embryo...
And what scientific evidence would that be? Embryo has sufficiently developed nervous system to have hopes, desires, memories and that stuff we associate with a person? Nope. Wonder what the evidence is then?
On a tangentially related note, Russell, are you a crikey subscriber? There's an article by Paul Mees that attempts to exonerate Darth Ratzinger.

Don't know if it'll work without being logged in.
This DM that resident troll I've been hearing about, by any chance? :-)
Mais oui.
Le petit troll de Russell.

It's worse than that. If you read the comments, Küng is a Lutheran! He obviously wants to reform the church!
