Article singing Cardinal Pell's praises

I’d bet money on it.

Yeah, I’m thinking of the passage where God sent two bears to maul 42 children. (2 kings 2:24) This was because they had mocked the prophet Elijah for his bald head. Good thing too. Nothing worse in life than being mocked for having a bald head! :thinking:

Back to the topic; I remember reading that Billy Graham lost his faith towards the end of his life. Also that disgusting old hag, saint Teresa of Calcutta . However, that there are some odious human beings at all levels of the church does not suggest that any of them are atheists. Religious faith is about belief, not behaviour.

I think It’s actually a personal advantage that the most vile miscreant has his faith to protect his ego and help him rationalise his behaviour (as in being forgiven)

This YouTube clip from “Yes Minister” addresses the question nicely.
