In 2007 Cardinal George of Chicago responded to calls from
organised Jewry for the Catholic Church to abandon its prayer for the
conversion of the Jews, by suggesting that the Jews themselves might
consider removing anti-Christian passages from the Talmud (I). A short
time later Cardinal George found himself accused of “covering up” sexual
abuse in his diocese. As coincidences go, this is right up there with
the former British Foreign Secretary, Robin Cook, dying suddenly weeks
after writing in the Guardian that “Al Qaeda” was just another name for the CIA’s Arab assets (2).
Predictably, right-wing traditional Catholics saw nothing fishy about
the timing of the accusations against Cardinal George. Traditional
Catholics, you see, are avid tinfoil hat coincidence theorists, and
never see anything fishy about media targetting of Catholics. Like these
media, they long ago abandoned the very traditionally Catholic
principle of innocent until proved guilty, and are more than happy to
play the role of Judas goats leading committed Catholics to the New
World Order slaughter.
But hang on, I hear you say, surely the traditional Catholics are
right to blast the Church over its cover-ups of heinous crimes? Well,
yes, when the crimes have been proven in a court of law – not, as in the
case of the recent Pennsylvania hysteria – when most of the cases have
never been tried at all.

Robin Cook did more than write in the Guardian about Al-Qaeda, he said it in the House of Commons ensuring that it was entered into the public record. He was the only cabinet minister to resign over the launching of the Iraq invasion, the rest of the cabinet are, by definition, war criminals..
There must be something awfully good about the Catholic Church for the Jews to be so uptight about it. Jews hold the Catholic Church responsible for antisemitism when really back in the day, before Vatican II, it was known for being Jew wise. The poor old Catholic Church has had so many traitors in its ranks
was Robin Cook, the British politician a catholic? This popped up

"Robin Cook restored my faith in politicians single handedly. His resignation from the cabinet over Iraq was fantastic and made more so because of his incisive action in Kosovo and the fact that he seemed to have a proud idea of Britain as a force for good in the world at the heart of his four years as foreign secretary. He was renowned as a formidable debater in the house and I also liked the fact that he was prickly and acerbic to journalists- if he didn’t want to talk, he wouldn’t talk.
I really feel like one of the few good guys has been lost to us.
My favourite quote would probably the one mentioned on the front page of the Independent newspaper this morning: -
“We would have made more progress against terrorism if we had brought peace to Palestine rather than war to Iraq
@ Red Orchid, your google picture is hate speech. I'm reporting you. LOL
