I doubt very much he's a closet Catholic.


We've already had a closet-Catholic Prime Minister. And.. the Jesuits could be any one of us. They could be in this very forum! It could be you. It could be me!

When anybody preaches disunity, tries to pit one of us against each other through class warfare, race hatred, or religious intolerance, you know that person seeks to rob us of our freedom and destroy our very lives.

There is, however, some reason to believe that he's a closet Orthodox.

Of course, a fondness for Mt. Athos is not necessarily a conversion. If I ever make it to Greece myself I'd love to visit it.

Well, his father was a Greek prince, so an affinity with Orthodoxy wouldn't be terribly surprising. But on the other hand, he's also the official patron of the Prayer Book Society.

I like how on the East German one there's a hair thin sliver of a colour photo on the right of Honecker, which undoubtedly is showing Egon Krenz's tenure, even though you can't actually see who it is.

There is an out of control trolley speeding towards Jeremy Bentham, who is tied to the track. You can pull the lever to cause the trolley to switch tracks, but on the other track is Immanuel Kant. Bentham is clutching the only copy in the universe of The Critique of Pure Reason. Kant is clutching the only copy in the universe of The Principles of Moral Legislation. Both men are shouting at you that they have recently started to reconsider their ethical stances.
