Pot, Kettle, Black

And just as a footnote to my post about Mr. Cruise’s eloquent demonstration of his self-delusion; Julian Baggini asks: Is Cruise Really So Crazy? Well of course, the answer is no, when you consider that the Vatican has a Chief Exorcist, who is clearly as deluded as Tom Cruise. It’s just that the roots of Father Gabriele Amorth’s delusion go back a lot longer. That’s why it’s called a religion and not a cult. Otherwise, not too much to choose between them, I’d say. As Ophelia says of Father Amorth’s writings: "This is nasty, bad, harmful stuff, and the Vatican should be ashamed of itself. It never is, but it should be."
