My m8 tells me...
- only one drop of wine is needed (for catholic mass)
- and one drop of water
- billions believe that the mixing of the two, by one individual, creates the Body of Christ
- they can't all be wrong?
- or is Islam, Judaism or Trump philosophy better
- and more accurate
- perhaps it's better to be angry at everything

In solitary confinement now at his Victoria prison - GP isn't allowed to say mass there.
Partly because the only religious books allowed are the Bible - and the Koran.
Also, wine is required for mass - and that is prohibited by the prison authorities, as are all alcoholic beverages.
Some say - that for a prisoner not to be allowed to follow his religion - is an infringement of his human rights.
But there are few precedents for this predicament - as catholic clergy have been relatively rare inhabitants of prisons, so far.
GP has hired an expensive 'celebrity lawyer' for his June appeal; A$25,000 a day, the papers say.
Many of those commenting publicly think his appeal case is not without merit.
But the Catholic church allows alcoholics to use a wine substitute- at least,certain priests do.
Is this not the general policy? It seems very mean. |
