Catholics object to Irish law requiring them to stop covering up the rape of children.

Cardinal Sean Brady called the practice of hiding child rapists a "sacred and treasured" rite.

The Archbishop of Armagh said "any intrusion upon it is a challenge to the very basis of a free society"

The government of Ireland, in the mean time, insists that aiding and abetting is aiding and abetting even when you do it because the voices in your head tell you to.

mysticism and superstition still have a place in modern society, but I'm totally with you on organised religion.

i was raised Protestant, and don't recall a time that I didn't find the whole deal utterly absurd.

and by mysticism, I mean the belief that there's more to life than physical existence [though that's pretty awesome all by itself]
