Thought for the day: dispense with bishops

Article Abstract:

The recent controversy over Cardinal Hume's pronouncements on the Church's views on same-sex sex highlight the problems which arise when the media persists in obtaining the Church's opinion on modern moral issues. It is time to stop pretending that the Church is a vital part of modern life. This would undoubtedly cause much relief to Church representatives who are often placed in embarrassing situations when asked to express an opinion on a moral matter.

They will use only the freshest eggs, for example, while oilive oil must be of best extra virgin quality. Often, new views on Italian cuisine differ considerably from what is actually cooked in ordinary Italian households.
