    What else would you call an organisation that believes in an invisible man in the sky.

    Another man whose empathy with the Rohingya is palpable.

    Your evident concern for the plight of the Rohingya people is touching.

    but you make it sound as if he had a dishonourable motive for not doing so. Do you think he saw his trip to Burma as a junket? You haven't spelled out his motive as you see it.

    Aha! Now we see what you're at. If you want to talk about the sex abuse scandals aren't there numerous threads covering that? If they don't meet your requirements you can open a new one. Maybe Godwin should propound a new law: When the Vatican is mentioned in Boards.ie whether in the context of the Rohingya or the Copts or whatever, a thread will not go more than a dozen or so posts before paedophilia gets a mention. Yes, we are all deeply affected by your concern for the Rohingya.

    This being your view, how come you don't remain consistent and maintain that the Pope should mind his own business and remain silent on the Rohingya question?

    Yes, so sorry for the Rohingya, you are.

    Why are you trying to talk like yoda?

    I'm not sure how you can separate the church as we now know it, and paedophilia, it is after all synonymous in a lot of people's minds and why not mention it. The problem in our country in the past is that it wasn't mentioned enough imo.

    The question I think you have to ask yourself is why did the pope apologise to the Rohingya in Bangladesh and have a little cry? It seems in Bangladesh he feels he has authority to speak for mankind not just the state he is head of. Would this not be talking out of both sides of his mouth as the people in Myanmar can read the papers too. Would that not lead to the much feared shutting of the door too?

    I can only take from the above sarcasm laden post that you have little feeling for a besieged and beleaguered people, that could easily go on to some sort of genocide.

    I don't think you know what I am at really, and get an inkiling that you have a "positive" agenda to push forward.
