It's For Their Own Good

Ruth Kelly, the authoritarian Minister for Education (she's a member of Opus Dei) proposes that school kids should be subject to random drugs testing.

We British really hate our children, don't we?

o_O What are they going to do if they test positive? Kick them out of school? That'll help...

I hate this government, I really do.

They're all such goody-goodies, such teacher's pets, such bossy-bootses.

And, of course, war criminals- but that's another story...

Performance enhancing drugs for school sports days...the opportunities are endless.

Since the dawn of time, apparently.


Opus Dei is only one of several vile cults encouraged by this Pope and his nasty predecessor. The others are Neocatechumenate, (bully boys sent in to destroy "liberal" parishes); Focolare, (anti-intellectual, happy-clappy, psychiatric brainwashing nasties with a special abhorrence of homos) and Communion and liberation, ( family dividers and wreckers).

Decades of brilliant work in depressed aboriginal communities by the saintly father Ted Kennedy have been completely undone by Catechumenate here .. you see, he was inspired by Vatican11 and the Church is vowed to induce mass-amnesia about THAT regrettable episode.

The canonization of the Fascist founder of Opus Dei by JP11 was the last nail in the coffin for those hoping for some evidence of Christianity from the Catholic Church.

I'd heard of Focolare, but the other two are new to me.

Tony Blair is a secret catholic. He will announce his conversion as soon as he leaves office. His administration is stuffed with true believers.

One of his aides recently reacted to criticism of some typically illiberal and totalitarian piece of legislation by snapping, "But don't you understand? We're good people!"

JPII was a "good" man and so must be excused his campaign against contraception in Africa which has killed millions.

Oh it'sa morass.Isee that thearch-crook Cardinal Marcinkus carked recently, praise be. He and Cardinal Cody of chicago would be burning in hell now if such a place existed, Was the Church capable of doing a hit on John-Paul 1?
Yes.

JPI was about to take a look at the doings of the Vatican bank, wasn't he?

...and change the Church's hardline position on contraception.
"Sister, could you take this nice cup of herbal tea to his Holiness. They didn't have a Borgia on their honours board for nothing.

Really- he was going to do that as well?- No wonder they had to hurry things along...

The election of this compassionate and very modern John paul 1 was one of the most readical choices in Papal history ... he would have undoubtedly continued and expanded the liberalising influences of Vatican 11. Paul V1 would be considered a moderate. There was no way the hardline conservatives weren't going to fight back. The fact that JP11 was an anti-communist with experience of communism saw the enclave overlook his deep conservatism which hardened into a doctrinaire, mediaeval conservatism with the encouragement of Cardinal Ratzy, head of the inquisition and current creep.

This is already done at select high schools in the U.S. I've had to give a sample to the school myself.

It's totalitarian. An unjustifiable invasion of personal space and an infringement of individual liberty.

Oooh, it makes me mad!
