MORE EVIDENCE OF THE MORAL DECREPITUDE OF THE CATHOLIC PRIESTHOOD

BBC:

One of the UK's most senior Roman Catholics has criticised plans to renew Britain's nuclear deterrent, calling the retention of Trident "immoral".

Cardinal Keith O'Brien, the leader of Scotland's Catholics, said retaining any nuclear weapons, with the threat to use them, even in defence, was wrong.

The Iraq invasion had been undermined by the UK having its own WMDs, he said.

The government maintains a nuclear arsenal is vital because of the spread of nuclear technology around the world.

The Cardinal, who is spiritual leader to an estimated 660,000 Catholics, said in the Times newspaper that the moral issues around nuclear weapons must not be overshadowed by issues of diplomacy or finance.

Labelling the moral case as "quite simple", Archbishop O'Brien said the use of nuclear weapons was wrong in all cases, and that it therefore followed that retaining them, with the threat to use them if necessary, was also unacceptable.

THIS IS INSANE.

NO WEAPON - OR ANY TOOL - IS INTRINSICALLY MORAL OR IMMORAL.

THE INTENTION OF THE USER DETERMINES THE MORALITY.

PRIESTS LIKE THIS ARE ONE REASON THE RC CHURCH IS DYING.

THERE ARE OTHERS...

MORAL CATHOLICS OF FAITH OUGHT TO BE RISING UP AGAINST THE IMMORAL AND AMORAL RC PRIESTS THE WAY IRANIANS ARE RISING UP AGAINST THEIR MULLAHS.
