The church – as she is known – Boadicea's Chariot

The Beeb continues to amuse us with the outpourings of a holy ‘professor of ethics’: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-21658218

Pinch yourself, to ensure you are not dreaming this drivel – which culminates with a cracker: “accountable to a board of directors: God Himself…the Blessed Trinity”. As with most analogies, the Rev’s attempt to explain the RC biz as a huge corporation runs out of rational, if not supernatural road.

There is a certain irony in the use of the feminine pronouns, given the RCs’ predilection for according women the status of animals, albeit family pets; which also explains the clergy’s general preference for practising their sexual skills on masculine victims. But I suppose we should be cheered by the idea that the new CEO needs “to implement some of the efficiencies taught in today’s best business schools”. Presumably his mates at Opus Dei have put him up to that! But will the efficiencies include a policy about equal opportunity employment, I wonder?

Best of all, I look forward to the suggestion that the new incumbent should “… open up the channels of information flow” (sic) – then maybe, just maybe, we’ll get a glimpse of the eternal truth.
