Chris Murray, 30-09-2006 19:11

and Catholics. Ms Booth met Pope Benedict (in a veil) to discuss
fortress Europe's dwindling birth-rate, Whilst her husband is
prosecuting Illegal wars . Benedict's 'Schulerkreis' in Castelgandalfo
was preoccupied with the dogmatic definition of the Genesis Narrative.
It is a feminist polemic around the issue of intelligent design
and how dogmatics affect women's place in Western Christian Hegemony.
