Odds and Ends.

Will be renouncing my Catholicism in the census tomorrow. Don’t get me wrong: I’m not an atheist, indeed it will surprise some that I actually find comfort in prayer. But I really don’t want to be associated with an organisation that regarded being gay as a more serious matter than raping children. In short, I can’t be a Catholic anymore because I believe in a compassionate God, and they don’t. So I’m cutting out the middleman and going wholesale.

Interesting piece about the Schools Chancellor of New York City resigning here. Imagine that. A public official resigning because the mayor felt they just weren’t up it. Won’t see any of that nonsense here.
