Patrick I don't know where you get this fixation that you can defend somebody in the wrong by pointing out somebody else being wrong; I'm not aware of that being a precept of Catholic teaching, traditional or otherwise. Edit Sorry, that should have been addressed to Patrick though the same thing does apply to Clare who regularly takes the same approach, particularly toward myself where I'm not allowed to challenge SSPX ideology because I disagree with HV.

Putting the "Fun Dame" into Fundamentalist

For a start, Mairtin, that is Patrick you just quoted. And what I do, is point out people's double standards. Because, anyone who is willing to vote Labour, for example, is in no position to criticise the BNP. Such a person has surrendered any claim to occupation of the moral high ground. For what it's worth, I do not support any of the main three parties, or the BNP. Believe it or not, I do not like the BNP's preoccupation with race! But as I said, anyone who is willing to defend the other parties but suddenly gets all precious about the BNP is displaying double standards. Now, if anyone who condemns the BNP, and decry all its members and supporters as evil, is willing to do the same for the other three parties, then there is no double standard. The mainstream parties have evil policies too. |

As we are all brothers and sisters in Jesus Christ, let us behave as such. Who was it said " I detest what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it"? With free speech comes the risks discussed above. Without it, comes the kind of oppression generations before us have laid down their lives to defy. Please come back, Richard. Your contributions are valued. Please Clare, apologise for any offence your words may have given and ask Richard to return. Neither of you has to change your views sincerely held. Just remember "Love one another as I have loved you ". Who was it said that? |

It's double standards, like I said. And in your case, gnats and camels! And pots and kettles. And motes and beams to boot! So there! |

Not Voltaire! That's all I know.
Please come back Richard. I did not mean to cause any offence, and I'm sorry if I did. |

I believe that Stalin said it to Churchill at Yalta. Do you think he was telling the truth? Sean |

Evelyn Beatrice Hall used those words in a book (Friends of Voltaire) in 1906, to sum up Voltaire's attitude.
