Good news: Anglicans do not have a monopoly on nutty priests

Catholics have their fair share:

Scotland’s Catholic figurehead has urged the UK government to give up its “shameful” nuclear weapon programme……

“It is shameful to have them. If our government wished to truly be courageous it would unilaterally give up its nuclear deterrent, giving the witness and impetus for other nations to do the same.”

While being less than enthusiastic about the need to keep nuclear weapons, let alone use them is understandable, the bizarre contention that the UK disarming itself would give “impetus for other nations to do the same” demonstrates such a crass naïvety and ignorance of the fundamental depravity of human nature, that one is tempted to wonder what the Cardinal has been putting in his incense.

Cardinal O’Brien’s  maunderings will, no doubt, be ignored; just as well, or every thuggish madman from Ahmadinejad to Gaddafi would be rubbing his hands with glee.
