In Catholicism, this is an open-and-shut case of <em>&#8220;SHE&#8217;S PURE EVIL AND GOING STRAIGHT TO HELL!&#8221;</em> but, as with most things involving the Church and morality, there&#8217;s a lot of hypocrisy behind the big talk and bumper-sticker buzzwords. The woman was a mother of four suffering from pulmonary hypertension, which would have killed her <em>and</em> the baby if she carried it to term. Explain to me who&#8217;s pro-life again?</p><p><img

/> Although he did not directly mention the crisis that has seen claims of abuse from Ireland, Germany, Austria, Holland and Brazil the 82 year old Pontiff&#8217;s message was evidently clear.<br
/> As he spoke, thousands of pilgrims who had gathered in a sunlit St Peter&#8217;s Square clapped and shouted &#8220;Viva il Papa&#8221; (Long Live The Pope). The scandals seemingly not to have had an impact on their faith.</p></blockquote><p>&#8230;and that&#8217;s why nothing will change.</p><p>By the way, a few people asked me for a closer look at the cereal box featured in our last comic, so I&#8217;ve since <a
