of Communion is desecration of God, according to these Catholics. Again, I don’t
believe this and you don’t but the question is whether it is inappropriate for
someone to think that desecration of God is the worst kind of sin. I don’t think
it is in appropriate. There is really nothing new here, nothing different from
Chas’s first set of remarks. He finds the thought of genuine Communion to be
absurd. Well, good for him. He is not alone. Donovan finds Chas’s atheism to be
absurd, too, and I don’t appreciate Donovan’s insulting remarks about Chas’s
beliefs any more than I do Chas’s insulting remarks about Catholics. I’m neither
a Catholic or an atheist but I have friends and family in both camps and it
bothers me that their beliefs are discussed in such a flippant, insulting
way.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt; COLOR: #1f497d; FONT-FAMILY: 'Calibri','sans-serif'">I
find the whole idea of taking bits and pieces of someone’s fundamental beliefs
out of context and making fun of them to be a worthless exercise. It is
offensive and as far as I can tell of no good whatsoever. Why stop with
Catholics? Why not find comments from other religions – Mormons, Muslims, Jews –
that we can take out of context and make fun of? And what do we gain from this
exercise? I just don’t get it.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

fundamental claim about the world – religious, philosophical, or whatever –
looks odd to those who don’t accept. That is just the way that fundamental
claims work. Going to the trouble to point out the oddness serves no useful end,
as far as I can see. Ultimately it leaves us all open to the same kind of
pointless ridicule.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

in:<BR>> <BR>> "Confessions of . . . sins . . . such as genocide or mass
murder . . .<BR>> [are] handled at the local level by priests and their
bishops"<BR>> <BR>> However for the REALLY heinous sins, only the pope can
grant absolution.<BR>> <BR>> Which sins are this grave, you
wonder?<BR>> <BR>> Well, for example, only the pope can absolve those "who
receive<BR>> Communion and then remove the host from their mouths and spit it
out<BR>> or otherwise desecrate it," this article reports.<BR>> <BR>>
So spitting out a wafer is worse than genocide?<BR>> <BR>> *Chas's head
