Way of the Cross

From the BBC:

Britain's most senior Roman Catholic Church cleric has called for Christians to wear a cross every day.

In his Easter Sunday sermon, Cardinal Keith O'Brien will tell worshippers to "wear proudly a symbol of the cross of Christ" each day of their lives.

The leader of the Church in Scotland, he will voice concern at the growing "marginalisation" of religion.

His comments come as a case is going to the European Court of Human Rights to allow employees to wear crosses.

I believe the Queen's crown is still marked with a cross on the very top. Should that be removed as well? Is the European Court of Human Rights going to tell her to have that cross removed? Good luck.



And as an aside, if the U.S. ever adopts anything similar to a sanctimoniously named "Court of Human Rights" I will know that the American experiment is officially over, not because I don't believe in rights, but because, as this story makes abundantly clear, such "Courts" usually assume the role of supreme judge of how much traditional religion should be allowed in our new, enlightened society. In other words, we'd all better become Unitarians.
