Okay, folks, I'm as revolted by the miserable morality of the Roman Catholic Church as anyone else. But just lately my Twitter feed has been full of people who are acting surprised. Really, how did you all expect them to react to such a book?

Apparently the attention the Vatican gave the book pushed it from number 142,982 on Amazon to 16th place.
Really Russell, you need to start hitting these powerful religious organisations where it hurts to get your book sales up. You have got to go further than merely asking for a secular society, you must demand an end to all forms of religion! Then you will be rich.
Yes, sometimes it seems you have sound crazy to get attention.
