Italian lawyers lambaste JPII
According to <a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/hi/english/world/europe/newsid_1789000/1789362.stm" target="_blank">the BBC article</a>, the Pope urged Catholic lawyers to "refuse to collaborate with the 'evil' of divorce" and magistrates not to hear divorce cases. Italian lawyers and magistrates have, in so many words, told him to take a hike.
I find this immensely encouraging, especially the line": "One unnamed lawyer even accused the Pope of "other-wordly" thinking." |

I was watching this on the news last night …
One of our minister’s told journalists: “Okay, so that’s great for religion, but we’re talking about laws – what have the Pope and religion got to do with them?” He’s getting my vote! TG.5 also carried out a survey and found that 65% were against the Pope’s idea, however 72% of 16-24 year olds agreed with him – HELP! |
