Thompson insults (yet another) bishop

I think Damian Thompson's gone too far this time. We all know he could run the Catholic Church in England & Wales, as well as the Church of England, better than any number of bishops. And we all know he objects to parish and church closures – on this one I'm sure we'd agree. It's a very sad state of affairs although necessary.

But the headline on Thompson's latest blog is nothing short of scandalous: Bishop of Leeds shuts church to halt celebration of Mass.

No matter what our opinions on church closures and parish mergers, to suggest Bishop Roche (above) has done this solely to prevent the celebration of Mass is, surely, actionable.

This blog is very timely as people like Damian (The Omen) Thompson have been king of the barnyard for too long. God bless you, Sandalista

P.S you should allow anon comments and, if not that, then name and hhtp comments. This encourages debate, which is what the blogsphere is all about. Believe me, raving nutters leaving comments will be entertaining for all your readers and sympathisers -especially as it afford witty repostes. Offensive ones can be simply deleted
