Another reason for me to not like the current Pope

[Alex]

While I agree with the early points he made I must admit that I've just been assuming that since most of Tref's other posts are some form of performance art that the posts in this thread have been as well. But whether true or just spinning a yarn, I know many people who gain a lot of comfort from the strength and certainty displayed in such a style. If religion is simply the instinctive impule to find answers where only uncertainty is seen, then not allowing any uncertainty in the answers will be appealing to many.
