The latest news is not so surprising: http://www.guardian.co.uk/worldlatest/story/0,1280,-5432475,00.html.
But this article, written about a week ago, contains some startling statistics: http://www.theage.com.au/news/world/vatican-intensifies-stand-against-gays/2005/11/14/1131951100275.html
Even if these figures are a gross exaggeration do they not suggest that the new Vatican policy concerning gays is "unhealthy"?
The paradox has often been noted that the United States, founded in secularism, is now the most religiose country in Christendom, while England, with an established church headed by its constitutional monarch, is among the least. (Richard Dawkins, 2006)
