#1 I can respect wanting to avoid war, or wanting to avoid until the last minute, but one has to ask himself HOW IS THE GLOBAL ISLAMIST AGENDA AVERTED FROM WAR - put another way, HOW IS GLOBAL ISLAMISM ACHIEVED IFF RADIC ISLAMIST-PROCLAIMED
"CRUSADER AMERICA-WEST" IS ONLY "HURT", NOT DESTROYED OR REMOVED, AS A COUNTER TO ISLAMISM??? Lest we fergit, Radical Enviros want approxi 90% OR MORE of the World's Population to be eliminated in order to save the planet - ITS "NECESSARY", ITS "JUSTIFIED", ITS "SO THAT HUMANITY + EARTH CAN SURVIVE", while CHINA wants 200Milyuhn Amers goners + 1/2 of CONUS-NORAM for Chinese/Chicom-centric "living space". HISTORY CHANNEL > JESUS married Mary Magdalene, had children or a daughter Sarah by same, + may NOT had been crucified nor died on the Cross. WOT > WAR FOR SECULARISM, SECULAR + INTELLECTUAL ATHEISM, AMORALISM + APOLITICISM, .........ETC.
KYOTO > means the USA = WEst? must give up their consumption = quality-of-life while weaker Nations-Societies can pollute all they want.

#2 Bishop Burns, who ministers to the 40,000 Catholics and their families who are members of the armed forces,

I think "Used to minister" is more correct.

#3 Good God. Even to someone who takes the progressive enfeeblement of Europe as a given, this is truly shocking.

The spinelessness displayed throughout this episode will have consequences. Look for all kinds of things to start popping loose very shortly...

#5 I suggest Bishop Burns be sent to the Gulf and assigned to one man boarding parties up around Shatt-Al-Arab so he can test his theory...

#6 I love the RCC, but this is one of the most depressing reads in months, and confirms my gloomiest predictions for the future. There WILL BE NO organized religious or cultural resistance now that we're being cornered. I keep praying that someone, anyone will organize and fight back -- mafia, neo-nazis, soccer hulligans, ANYONE! I realized years ago, that in the Church, just like American government, the more Liberal (read, power-hungry and amoral) rise to the top.

#7 What's queer about this is that the Right Reverend Michael Nazir-Ali, Anglican Bishop of Rochester, was born in Pakistan, if I recall correctly, and usually is more forthright about the danger Islam poses to the world as it is too often practiced... unless I'm confusing him with that lovely African (Nigerian?) bishop who is taking on so many of the break-away American congregations.

#8 Every time I think I have exhausted my capacity to be shocked some cringing tool of evil taps some hidden reservoir in my soul.

Two more for the noose.

#9 I take it Burns has been scoffing the sacremental wine again.

#10 This is the second article posted on RB within the past week where, upon reading the article, my first thought was: I hope Old Spook doesn't read this since it'll cause severe heart palpitations.

This bishop is a prime example of why there are many lapsed Roman Catholics.

Yesterday afternoon at Easter brunch my mother in law (an old school pious RC) asked me the status of my faith. I told her my faith in Christ was strong, but not so much in the Church. I wish this artilce had been posted a day earlier so I could have cited it as the most recent example of my lack of faith in current church leadership.

#11 Were I a Brit, I would want a total embargo on all further comment about this debacle. The British lion has been shown to be old and feeble, unable to muster the will to even threaten the use of his shriveled military muscle.

#12 Good grief, trailing wife, you're absolutely right! Nazir-Al is usually much less conciliatory about Islam's perpetual misdeeds. I'll have to give the Bishop of Rochester a pass on this one in light of his outspokeness on so many other even more critical issues, but I'm still a wee bit disappointed. Nazir-Ali is a lone voice in Britain's clerical wilderness with respect to the Islamic threat.
