MAY I express how sad I feel that the media, yet again, have bashed the Roman Catholics? If it's not the C of Es, it's the RCs.

It takes two to make a baby - as a mother of five, I can bear witness to that!

Of course, the Bishop of Argyll and the Isles (above) did wrong - don't we all? Why did the mother of the bishop's son wait so long to shout about it? From where I'm standing, she did her son no favours for the rest of his life, the finger will be pointed at him as the 'son of a bishop.'

Cash, however, is king - but there ain't no pockets in shrouds.

Of course, the Bishop told lies - don't we all? So let's have something from the media to make us laugh rather than weep.

Let's not forget the missionaries in Africa and South America who are tortured and murdered for their faith.
