"The church was wrong on slavery - many parts of the church," he said. "The church was wrong in the Crusades. The church was wrong with Galileo. The church was wrong with women. The church was wrong with people of a different so-called race. The church, increasingly, we find it was wrong with people who are oriented toward the same gender.

Sort of sad this Bishop is so ignorant of the Church and history.

1: Has the good Bishop ever heard of Bartoleme de las Casas or Wilberforce? Why did slavery first end in the Christian west?

2: Does the Bishop know the Pope called for the Crusades because the Muzzies dealt a devastating defeat on Byzantium and it was a call from help from Constantinople that lead to the call for the Crusades?

3: Galileo got into trouble because he was going against the prevailing SCIENTIFIC view at the time. I ask the good Bishop why did science flourish in Christian West as opposed to dying in the Muzzie world?

4: The development of the Church was a imporvement in the status of women compared to the Roman world. Once again why did the concept of women's rights develop in the West while women are treated as chattel in the Muzzie world?

5: If the Bishop read his Bible he would know from acts that one of the first converts was from Ethiopia. I refer back to De La Casas and Wilberforce. The greatest slavers in history were the Muzzie Arabs. How has Christianity has spread to all corners of the world if it is so racist?

6: Obviously the Bishop does not read the Bible when it comes to its consistent condemnation of homosexual acts.

Now, now, now. There you go letting facts get in the way of a good rant of moral superiority. Sheesh.

If this guy went to my seminary, he got almost NO history of the Catholic Church from Augustine to Luther.
