      I echo that, Stu. Good to see also that is seems that Fr Kelly knows his onions on the law, and isn’t going to be fobbed off lightly in this matter.

      wow – he must be very brave. Given the catholic church is going utterly mad about gay marriage.

      Of course its the hierarchy that hid the molestation who are now crazy as they fight the battle of the bulge against gay marriage . Which they will lose for sure if we all do everything we can.

      BTW Father – if you get excommed, I’m sure the USA episcopal church will take you in. Someday you might even become a bishop.

    Good news. The “gay panic” defence is a crock right up there with the “twinkie defence.

    Progress.

    Otherwise I could kill someone else, eg a minority, and claim that i was afraid he would harm me – and go free or with a reduced sentence.

    All kinds of terrible possibilities if this kind of “panic defense” is allowed.

    1. @ John -

      You are probably right, and I’m guessing you’re familiar with Australia’s Cardinal Pell, a man after ben16′s heart.

      How did i miss that one – they wont summon him to rome, they will just kick him out.

      I am anything but catholci, but every now and then, I send the church a demand I be excommed. Usually with statements like ” the pope and all the cardinals should be fed to the fire ants of Africa. Tens of millions who will on the move devour anything in their paths.
