  Okay, my final post on this. If you were to scout around the web looking at other forums and social networks you'd probably be quite reassured by just how TAME the catholic-bashing has been on DF. It's almost uniquely civilized on this website to an extraordinary degree, particularly on a subject that has got millions of people's blood boiling and caused a huge division (as religion always does). The anti-catholic feeling in the UK is far bigger than this forum, it's big enough to demonstrate that many in this nation want to stand up for the secular society, want to stand against child abuse, and want to express their free speech. I wonder if we'd all be so quick to try and shut up the voices of protest had we been attacking Jehovas Witnesses if they were faced with the same charges? Nobody seems to jump to their defense in a hurry. Double standards maybe, who knows?
  
  But anyway, point taken, I shall now keep my trap shut and enjoy my religion bashing elsewhere. But at least I can feel comfortable in my resolve knowing I live free of compromise on the subject of religion. Dennis Potter sums it up for me: Religion is the wound, not the bandage.
