Homophobia rampant in latest e-mail from the reject 71 campaign

Filed Under Syndicated News | Leave a Comment

I rarely use the word homophobic. I like to save it for those times when there is not a better adjective.

Roman Catholic church to receive Anglicans

Filed Under Syndicated News | Leave a Comment

The move surprised many as it was unveiled simultaneously in the Vatican and in London, where the Archbishop of Canterbury, Rowan Williams, was forced to admit that he had not known about it until a fortnight ago.
