Cardinal Pell has demonstrated he is as relevant as Harold Camping.

The Catholic Church should do itself a favour and remove him from his station.

OK so a cleric pontificates on a scientific topic on which he is demonstrably ignorant.

And this is news because….?

However my Jewish chauvinism is tested by this piece.

I’ll bet I can produce more scientifically illiterate Rabbis who pontificate on scientific matters than Tim Stephens can produce priests. Given that there are probably around 100 times as many priests as there Rabbis this would prove the following:

The per capita scientific ignorance of Rabbis exceeds that of Catholic priests by 100 to 1.

So there!

Or, as Woody Allen would put it, for Jews anything worth doing is worth over-doing and that applies even to scientific illiteracy among clergy.

And the reason for this outburst on my part?

It’s PAYBACK for all the sermons I had to sit through in which some Rabbi “proved” that Darwin was a fraud and that the Earth really was only around 5,800 years old.

Pell is a menace, like other loudmouth bigots, who get too much media attention. Religion is a matter for consenting adults, in private.

Pell is doing what every religion does, attacking other religions.

He realises something most readers of this article don't realise. Climate-change and Greenie-ism are RELIGIONS also. Just like Socialism and Feminism are religions.

These are new, Godless religions. The zealots who follow these religions believe each-other's lies and ignore the destruction and harm they are doing.

Christianity has been around for around 2,000 years now, and made some stupid mistakes along the way, but lerned from them and now, clearly does a lot more harm than bad.

THese new religions do vast amounts of damage and harm. But people haven't realied the full extent of the destruction they cause yet.

partTimeParent,
Religions by definition invoke a supernatural claim, so these are not religions

Are well he is no worse than the other climate change denilists.

They are just rejectionists - that is they reject science.

And include capitalism in your list partTimeParent, as they are bring the world to economic and environmental collapse.
