Sir, - Michael MacCoisdealbh writes: "There are no such groups as Roman Catholic Lesbians and Homosexuals, as such practices are considered deviant by the Church." Well, if that don't bate Bannagher! So there are no Papist Pansies. Ah well, Jaysus, I suppose they must be all C of I or Methodists (secretly, like).

Well, at least anyway we now know what infallibility and the Magisterium of the Church really are. Apparently it means that if you don't like something or someone you just describe it or them as deviant and then they don't exist at all. Be God the Magisterium would be a handy old yoke if you were stuck in a tunnel with a train coming. - Yours, etc.,
