I wrote a letter to times that you can see on my blog, it hasn't printed but hopefully he'll get some blowback for all the press he's been getting lately.

Why on earth doesn't he just set up a live phone confession service or something? I would! The coin would be rolling in.

We can't have that. We can't have people thinking for themselves. A friend of mine was the youngest of 14 living children (4 died in early infancy!!!). Her brother had 6 children on the trot before he was 28. His wife was worn out. They went to their young, with-it curate and asked could they please use contraception?? He said they would burn in hell if they did. They didn't. They DID however have 4 more children (=10), until they started to think for themselves at last, and she had her tubes tied. That wasn't a hundred years ago, it was more like 20...... Takings must be down? People are seeking to control their own future? We can't have that. We can't have people thinking for themselves.

Well, just like religion, supersitions are also a matter of faith. (2) "People, according to Sean, are seeking to control their own future. I’m guessing here that Sean would like people to place themselves in the hands of his priests, as they used to do in the old days" Now they want to put their future in the hands of astrologers, tarot card readers.. .

Paganism looks like way more fun and a lot less dogmatic than St. Paddy's bunch of monster raving loonies. brown acid and wild turkey, Mr Bock? How about magic mushrooms and bronze age hooch with bonfires and dancing and nakedness. I wish we could go back to the old Irish superstitions.
