The Day of Judgement

The London Oratory school has decided to drop the Terence Higgins Trust as its nominated charity for a World Aids Day concert because its aims and philosophy were incompatible with Catholicism. In a letter the Oratory says the THT doesn't support christian values, oooooooh you bitch, scratch your eyes out and nail you to a cross.

I'm looking forward to the Aids Day concert and in particular the Oratory's choir's singing of Dies Irae, such magnificent music, such poetry in that magnificent opening verse,


Day of wrath! O day of mourning!
See fulfilled the prophets' warning,
Homos and queers in ashes burning!

And in no particular connection at all I draw you to edifying story of Daddy Manahan and his close spiritual guidance to young boys in Devon.

Hmmm! Sounds like a case of "Gomorrah belongs to me"!

The THT is opposed to AIDS but supports homosexuality. Even from an anti-Catholic point of view, I can't quite see how that works.
