The archbishop of controversy
I used to have respect for the Catholic Archibishop of Sydney, George Pell — he is after all a dignified and influential leader among a large and prominent religious group. But then I read this.
Apparently, global warming is just a bunch of hysteric and extreme claims from pagans, and the Koran is riddled with calls to violence. (The latter statement has generated enough trouble that he put out a backpedalling media release today.)
I have almost no respect for Pell but his claims about the Koran are spot on. But then again the Bible is full of violence too.
