Unfair ...

 It is unfair, but there seems to be a convention that bloggers bear some responsibilty for Comments they allow.

That is why, very reluctantly, I have suppressed a comment which could have given a handle to people who dislike this blog and would be very glad to use any weapon to get it banned.

Factually: I do not think the anti-Benedict XVI bishops who gave him such a bad time were actually "excommunicants".
