Agreed although he was too busy shooting police and burning peoples mortgage papers to attend church every Sunday like a good catholic should.

Mary Mckillop is adopted as an South Australian and almost every catholic church and school here worth its holy salt has something about her in its facilities. Although i fundamentally disagree in what she believed i do admire her for what she did helping the poor and the fact she stood up to an misogynistic church.

The Pope was today knocked down at the start of Christmas mass by a woman who hopped over the barriers. The woman was said to be, "Mentally unstable."

Which is probably why she went unnoticed among a crowd of Christians.

Especially with us Lutheran's protestants and Atheists telling her to fuck off back to Victoria. :mob:

Nah, too skanky IMO. I likke her, but not as much as Cate.

Cate is a true lady. A beautiful soul. A saint. Cate for PM.

Skanky? That's an odd description ... I'm talking about the actress, not any of the characters she played ... not that any particularly skanky characters spring to mind, either ... Toni Collette is very 8-)


That said, Cate does seem like a rather nice person from what I've seen of her in interviews, etc. Sainthood probably is more fitting there ...

*ahem*
