Sutch an Idiot: Roman Catholic Priest Wallows in Self-Ridicule For Gaia
In case you doubted that enviromoonbattery is a religion:
Forgotten to recycle any newspapers or tin cans recently? Feeling guilty because you neglected to carbon offset your flight to somewhere, anywhere, outside England this summer?
The Roman Catholic Church is at hand with a new line in "green confessions" to help eco-sinners to find forgiveness.
Dom Anthony Sutch, the Benedictine monk who resigned as head of Downside School to become a parish priest in Suffolk, will be at the county's Waveney Greenpeace festival this weekend to hear eco-confessions in what is thought to be the first dedicated confessional booth of its kind.
Vested in a green chasuble-style garment made from recycled curtains, and in a booth constructed of recycled doors, he will hear the sins of of those who have not recycled the things they ought to have done and who have consumed the things they ought not to have done.
If the Catholic Church is to retain its credibility, blasphemous fools like Sutch need to be defrocked.
On a tip from the Matterhorn.

Gee, kind of like the old days, before the Reformation. When will they start asking for money to absolve eco-sins?
Oh wait, Al Gore's company already has a lock on that gig.

G;
"Dom Anthony Sutch". That's when.

Try reading the article first G and then you tell us.

At first I thought it was a typo, Gregory. Some people (Like our "G") are just a little too quick to criticise.

Dum Sutch, some Sutch, whatever.
You're right nanc...the term for monetary payment for the expiation of sins is "indulgences". One of Luther's 95 theses points addressed this. The RC church almost killed him for making an issue out of that and other problematic "issues". Sounds like this form of bribery is still with us. The Lord illustrated an example of this apostasy as recorded in Matt chap. 15.
