I can't interfere with your right to practice your religion, but that hasn't happened â€” all I've done is laugh at you. .. That last clause, though... do they seriously believe that only Catholics are allowed to criticize Catholics, and that this restriction is enshrined in the constitution? That's a fine catch, that catch-22. So only Catholics can malign the faith, but if they do, then they can be kicked out of the faith, which means they can't criticize it anymore. That sounds like a ripe piece of theological logic to me.&rdquo; Note: /comment 216 is a moral argument (and video) from "the guy who provided PZ with the cracker that he used in the photo."
