Billy Graham died I hear. Almost made the hundred. Still there's plenty of other evangelists around still profitting from the idiocy of others. Presumably some of them are sufficiently anti-semitic.

Old Billy becomes the Dipak Patel of Evangelism: highest test score 99, never made the century.

The original, and much-followed, prototype "sermonise your way to wealth" evangelist. :roll:

Catholic Archbishop of Dublin Dr Diarmuid Martin has expressed surprise at the outcome of the referendum, and reiterated that his church cannot compromise on its opposition to abortion.

It follows the declaration of the official result this evening, one which campaigners for a No vote described as a "tragedy of historic proportions".

Dr Martin said that compassion is a Christian concept and that the Catholic Church has to show, in the way it lives and witnesses to the gospel, that it is genuinely compassionate.

"We have to speak with compassion even if what we speak is not acceptable," he said.

He added that above all, the Catholic Church had to revamp all that it does to be pro-life.

"Because pro-life is not simply about birth and death. It is about all the time in between," he said.

Jaysus - Diarmuid is very far from being the worst of them but "compassion is a Christian concept" is not just false, it is also almost incredibly arrogant, which to be fair is out of character for this guy.

Also - His statement that pro-life is related just to matters from birth to death is an odd one because it would suggest there is no issue with aborting any entity prior to birth. His church believes it is from the moment of conception, although that is quite recent as it used to be from the moment the soul engages(undefined timeline of course).

I think the emotional strain is having an impact on him because he is very far from being a stupid man. I almost feel sorry for him because despite being a senior person in a diseased organisation I always thought of him as a decent person at the individual level.
