#8  Catholic women, hell. Any woman who marries a Moslem is certified grade-A nuts.

No, I'm not sexist. Non-moslem men who marry Moslems are crazy, too.

#6  Cardinal Ratzinger is one of the good guys. He's worked long and hard to counter the "Happy Feel-Good High-On-Life" style of liberal theology* that's wrecked, for instance, the Episcopal Church--and so far as I know, he hasn't been among the crowd of Vatican functionaries acting as a mirror site for Kofi Annan.

#1  And?

Is not that there should be a general warning about ALL non-Moslems marring a Moslem

The divide between my being Protestant and my wife's Orthodox Christianity is infinitesimal to the divide between any Moslem and non-Moslem.
