Entry: Pope Banned from Speaking in Rome Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/wankers_ban_pope_from_speaking_in_rome#15029 Post contents: @Steve; "The role of the Papacy and Church in Italy has been the source of controversy for centuries." I hops so. Christ brought a sword, did he not? "...these students and faculty are couching their displeasure in polite if somewhat disingenuous terms." Polite? I quess if preventing speakers with whom you disagree from speaking qualifies as cordiality, then these bullying cowards are really quite genteel. "Dismissing anticlerical college students as “wankers” is not a sign of serious discourse, particularly in this context with the Roman Church having had its own scandals." You're right. Pack of flaccids was more appropriate. You imply the Church's right to be heard is contigent on the spiritual state of all it's members. Which is another sophism for suppressing it's voice. While more clever than the student's threat of violence, your approach exists on the same moral continuum. Sent at: 2008 11 21
