Actually, I found the religious view worryingly easy to express, given my much trumpetted agnosticism (not the time or place, but I have VIEWS about religion, views about god, and the twain rarely meet).
Have you heard of Godwin's law? I almost invoked it on you last night - roughly, it translates as he who first mentions the Nazis loses ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Godwin%27s_law ).
It's worth mentioning that we also are ruled by someone anointed by God, viz. Liz Battenburg von Cuckoo Clock. So long as our supreme ruler (without whom no law can be passed) is held to have a divine right to govern, we're all sitting in a green house.
Whoever made the point that it's too soon to judge how the church is cleaning its stables had a point - an organisation that's 2,000 years old won't change course quickly or easily. On the other hand, if they want to operate outside Vatican City, then anyone committing a crime should be dealt with according to law, and anyone concealing a crime should also be prosecuted.
So you, me and General Napier are all in agreement...
