Mark Shea.

In response to a Guardian article on the Pope's as yet unreleased encyclical, purportedly on "love and lust" but who knows because no one has read it yet, Mark Shea offers this observation on the opinion forum provided by the Guardian for people to comment on a document they haven't read, and probably would never read because it's too "boring" and "irrelevant". Shea nails the landing on the nature of internet as a sounding board for the irremediably ignorant with this observation:

What we all need is to hear the vitally informed views of people who glanced at the first three lines of a newspaper article. Who could be better qualified to refute the entire Christian tradition than that? So far, a surprising number of people are actually getting what the Pope is saying. But look for lots of informed discussions on Benedict, the Nazi Pedophile from those confident that they are "thinking" (a rather strong word to actually describe the biochemical processes taking place in their crania, but they insist on using it) "for themselves.

I wonder how long until someone brings up the Inquisition, the Crusades or Giordano Bruno.
