Only a card carrying member of Opus Dei could possibly believe that Pell scored more than Dawkins in that travesty of a debate. It was all heat and no light. Had all sorts of horror stories about Pell but this performance was beyond belief. Dawkins wiped the floor with him. Pell put his foot in his mouth just about any time he opened it. Could not believe that the Catholic Church would let this guy out of the house without a minder
Yesss. On hearing of the resignation the first thought of this cynical serpent is that some new revelations about those seedy pedophilia scandals were about to hit the fan and Ratzi wanted to be out of the way when it happens. That's still quite a likely possibility but he also happened to be around when his predecessor did the suffering servant martyr thing and kept the job long after he was physically capable of performing. So it is quite possible that his resignation is 'kosher'
There's been some cute photoshops and captions doing the rounds lately and even one of those Hitler bunker scenes but here's Izzie's favourite
PS I think I have linked to the replay of that Q&A in the original post. It's priceless But if they wanted to educate rather than entertain the audience they should have brought along the Buddhist monk Ajahn Brahm. He has a degree in theoretical physics and a sense of humour. He was talking on the very subject on Late Night Live and was much more open minded and interesting than that pair of dogmatic fundamentalists
