Sigh

This incident of idiotic thinking brought to you by the same people who persecuted Galileo and turned a blind eye to an epidemic of child rape.

Buffalo congressman Brian Higgins walked out of a Catholic church service Sunday after a deacon berated him during a sermon for the lawmaker’s recent vote supporting stem cell research.

The public tongue-lashing came during morning Mass at St. Thomas Aquinas Catholic church, where deacon Tom McDonnell criticized the Democratic lawmaker.

Higgins, who was baptized and married in that church, walked out with his wife and son.

  1. Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition.

    Note. It’s also called the Commission on the Doctrine of the Faith.

    Its previous head was Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, now Pope Benedict XVI.

    Its chief weapon is fear.

    shouldn’t that political speech from the pulpit result in the loss of tax exempt status?
