@ Guy Goda – Yes, he reminds me of Rohana Wijeweera, Marxist/Leninist/Communist demagogue who misled thousands upon thousands of SL youth, especially gullible university students in the JVP terrorism-insurgencies of 1971 and 1985/1989 and saw them perish with nothing achieved for themselves, for the JVP, or even the nation! No different in some respect to the demagogue Prabhakaran who did the same with innocent, gullible Tamils. First of all, I think this radical hag needs to step out of his robes as he is a disgrace to what Christ stood for (non-violence for example) and then second, I think the Vatican should excommunicate this hag and be done with him once and for all. I am sure the radical, violent Red Brothers will welcome him with a warm embrace and many kisses, so no loss as far as he is concerned too, I think.
