Comments on “Is the Pope a homophobe?” by Damian Thompson

A homophobic Pope? Oh tut, tut, Mr Thompson. Grow up or close the closet door, whichever causes the least offence to the rest of us.
André Hattingh

It is clear from reading this article that Damian Thompson has never actually read the bible. If he would care to open his bible at Romans chapter 1 verses 18-32, he would be able to see that the Pope is going in line with what the bible has to say. How dare he say that a ban on gay priests would be morally indefensible when he himself is in the wrong!

Comments on “Stop bashing the UN” by Andrew Gilmour

I was most upset to read a rational article about the UN in your magazine. One reads The Spectator in the same vein that one visits a zoo, to hear the roars of endangered species. If you start introducing rational argument, you will drive out the magnificent near-extinct species that is the spectator journalist and drive us devoted readers to buying the Guardian.
