#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.

#3 The Vatican's top theologian, Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, said earlier this week the West "no longer loves itself" and so was unable to respond to the challenge of Islam, which was growing because it expressed "greater spiritual energy."

The Vatican is really helping the West "love itself" with its kneejerk condemnations of our actions in Iraq and Afghanistan. Well at least they're talking about the threat now. Maybe they'll even start doing something... maybe.

#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.

*=E.g., abortion is good, gay bishops are good, the Gospels shouldn't be taken literally, maybe Jesus was married like Dan Brown says.

#7 The literal reading of the Gospels was pretty much out since St.Augustine.

#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.
