		<description><![CDATA[Sometimes, life is its own satire and there&#039;s no point  adding anything, because to do so would be superfluous. Last night, we had such a moment when Ratzinger pointed out to thousands of the Faithful that Christmas is about humility, not commerce.  He was speaking just after unveiling a giant crib 23 feet high and <a href='http://bocktherobber.com/2011/12/pope-reminds-faithful-that-christmas-is-about-humility-not-money/'>[...]</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A parishioner suggested to me the other day that I should take advantage of the recent technological advances on the &#034;internet&#034; by setting up a &#034;Priest-Cam&#034;. I think this is a very good idea indeed. It is a way of putting a priest&#039;s activities live on the &#034;internet&#034;, showing what he is up to from <a href='http://bocktherobber.com/2011/12/priest-cam/'>[...]</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Over a civilised pint this evening, people happened to mention their big fat Catholic childhood.  This was not something I personally experienced, but all my friends did, which might explain why they&#039;re all deranged. When I was a kid, sometimes the teachers would call for a decade of the Rosary, and that put me at <a href='http://bocktherobber.com/2011/12/prayers-and-jokes/'>[...]</a>]]></description>

I kid you not.  According to an Irish Central report, an American visitor, Sandra Clifford, 42, claims to have seen the face of Jesus on the sheer rock wall.  Sandra&#039;s picture shows a rock formation <a href='http://bocktherobber.com/2011/11/the-cliffs-of-jesus/'>[...]</a>]]></description>

That&#039;s right &#8212; the Irish government doesn&#039;t give a flying toss about either of them.  Both embassies are to close, ostensibly as a cost-saving measure, but in reality because they&#039;ve become irrelevant.  The Vatican has disgraced itself so much that it no longer commands <a href='http://bocktherobber.com/2011/11/irish-embassy-in-vatican-closed/'>[...]</a>]]></description>

And in the end, they denied everything, just like their kind always does.  Their kind never gives a straight answer because that&#039;s the sort they are.  Lying, abusive, two-faced, criminal thugs from a detested community of well-known criminals. <a href='http://bocktherobber.com/2011/09/slavery/'>[...]</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I can think of nothing to add to the Irish government&#039;s statement on the Holy See&#039;s legalistic, dishonest and self-serving comments last week.  It signals clearly that the time has passed when any Irish government will put up with the word-games, the half-truths, all the evasions and all the mental reservation of the Vatican lawyers <a href='http://bocktherobber.com/2011/09/statement-by-government-of-ireland-on-holy-see-response-to-cloyne/'>[...]</a>]]></description>
