Bishop claims education is the enemy of the Roman Catholic Church

Educated Catholics have sown dissent and confusion in the Church, claims bishop


The Rt Rev Patrick O'Donoghue, the Bishop of Lancaster, has claimed that graduates are spreading scepticism and sowing dissent. Instead of following the Church's teaching they are "hedonistic", "selfish" and "egocentric", he said.

In particular, the bishop complained that influential Catholics in politics and the media were undermining the Church.

While not naming names, he suggested that such people had been compromised by their education, which he said had a "dark side, due to original sin"


Right,it's all the fault of the educational system.
Because only education can sew the seeds of doubt or dissent.
It might not have anything to do with lack of foward progression by the church.I'm also sure it has nothing to do with mass being a bit boring ?

Ooh Original sin!

'Forgive me father for I have slept with my neighboors wife'
'Heard it!'

Oh goodness, what's next. Being a sin to tell kids about Santa

Isn't that a sin already?

I don't sin I improve on my self image .

Right, and I'm the pope.

Haha, that's a good one

Hey I thought I was the pope ...kiss my shoes please.

You're fired.

Please leave all cookies at the door, and don't expect to get a job in this town again.

"Well then, do five Hail Mary's and two Hello Dollies"

Should we all do "Forgive me Fathers?"

As Voltaire said, "On my knees repentin' ain't my style'

OH well I was really looking forward to some juicy tidbits .

Never trust a man with a forked tongue that doesn't drink.

Never trust the quiet girl in line ...

Bah, The forked tongue is the voice of reason for the 'quiet girl in line'.

From a Catholic: Remember folks, this man is going to be dead 20 years from now, while the people he mention may become the ones that re-energitize Catholicism

At least it's not that evil Bishop of Bath and Wells again

Sometimes that is indeed true.

But not today.

Or in this case.

The baby-eating one from Blackadder?

Well that one was on my mind but the actual Bish was part of another post made by Raven

They're upset because people aren't the mindless, illiterate sheeple they were in the dark ages and it's getting harder and harder to control the masses with their bs.

LOVE IT!
