P.S. on Abbe Pierre
Bloomberg.com did a pretty comprehensive round-up today.
The story goes further than we reported here earlier, in that it quotes the Abbe berating the Vatican for, among other things, the dogma of the Immaculate Conception, its "macho mentality," and Rome's authority over local churches. He also compares U.S. actions in the Middle East to the worst of the Crusades.

Sorry, I can't seem to get it to link by clicking on the URL. But if you lift the whole www....address and paste it on to the Google search box, you will get the article.
