Politics – Giuliani: "That's a European way of doing something; that's frankly a socialist way of doing something. That's why when you hear Democrats in particular talk about single-mandated health care, universal health care, what they're talking about is socialized medicine. Government cannot take care of you. You've got to take care of yourself."

Politics – Benedict has put his finger on the crux of Bush's flawed and simplistic gnosticism. Iraqi society is not pure evil. Nor is America - which Bush sees personified in himself as the "Decider" - pure good. The claim might serve a useful propaganda purpose, but it is dangerous if taken seriously.

Religion – For centuries it has been one of the Catholic Church's favourite topics. But the Pope has given a fresh reminder to his flock that Hell is hell and bemoaned the fact that it rarely gets talked about these days. The 79-year old pontiff used a Mass in the gritty Fidene suburb of Rome to put damnation back on the agenda. "Jesus came to tell us e

Politics – It's become President Bush's mantra, his main explanation for why he won't withdraw U.S. forces from Iraq anytime soon.

Religion – When did it come to the point that being a Christian meant only caring about two issues,Ã;Â abortion and homosexuality? Poverty? Whatever. Homelessness? An afterthought. A widening gap between the have and have-nots? Immaterial. Divorce? The divorce rate of Christians mirrors the national average, so that's no big deal.

Even though that body has already changed the law to make his "crime" a m
