With all due respect to your knowledge, it seems to me that the Irish "problem" is really, at bottom, a faith-based conflict. It so happens that the English are apostates, brutal, dictatorial, and bloodthirsty--not to mention greedy.
But what do THOSE adjectives have to do with Faith?

ONE minister (Phelps) DOES NOT an entire denomination make.
I agree. I also raised the issue with Vere, who told me others had raised it as well. He also asked me to re-read the paragraph in question, which now reads:
"Nevertheless, what has Bishop Plouffe done to deserve what appears to be a veiled threat of legal action? His words are nowhere as politically incorrect as those of his counterpart in Calgary. Nor is Bishop Plouffe, like Fred Phelps and the Westboro Baptist Church, encouraging his flock to picket homosexual funerals with "God hates Fags" placards. Knowing His Excellency well, I am certain he condemns such religiously inspired hate, as do the majority of Catholics and Baptists. After all, Christ preaches the Gospel of Love, calling all sinners to conversion."
