I don't think I have been so furious in years. Gerald Augustinus' Closed Cafeteria, a blog I USED TO read regularly - they can forget about me from now on - has published in full the infamous racist speech that ended the career of loathsome British politician Enoch Powell in 1968. The blog claimed that this piece of filthy black-bashing, aimed entirely at people with dark skins, had anything to do with the current episodes of terrorism in Britain. This is total, complete, unmitigated rubbish, and shows a revolting inability to distinguish between opposition to militant Islam and brute racism with which I do not want to be involved. If anyone else here has ever had the bad idea of reading Closed Cafeteria, I urge you to stop and let him know why.

I stopped reading that blog after he used profanity. There was just a spirit of meanness and exclusion there... a Catholic Fred Phelps only not so openly crazy. Looks like now the crazy is getting more open.

I am all for rigidity in matters of doctrine, and to a lesser extent of liturgy. But not for mistaking Catholic doctrine with the doctrine of any political party.
