There are only two contenders this month. That rather surprises me as the month as a whole felt more platitudinous than that. The first is Rev Rob Marshall for how you&#039;d never [url=http://www.platitudes.org.uk/platblog/index.php?entry=entry130209-083752]catch the French eating horse meat[/url].

The second is The Master. For the umpteenth time he told us how it was the church, specifically his church, [url=http://www.platitudes.org.uk/platblog/index.php?entry=entry130211-083614]that abolished slavery[/url] and introduced black civil rights. Even the churches that were against black equality are now in favour of it, which just goes to show how in touch with the Invisible Magic Friend they are. He then dismissed marriage equality as a mere &quot;political&quot; exercise.

Then he came on the day after the [strike]hypocrite[/strike] hypercrite Cardinal Keith O&#039;Brien was exposed. It turns out that this particular scandal is in no way representative of the Catholic Church and [url=http://www.platitudes.org.uk/platblog/index.php?entry=entry130226-085048]all its other continuous scandals[/url].

[img=images/clemmie_small_crown.JPG popup=false float=left]I&#039;d really love to give it to Rev Rob for a change but even his best effort is simply outclassed by The Master. With marriage equality and Cardinal O&#039;Brien, he hardly even had to try. The only question is, does he get the Clemmie for not apologising for the Catholic Church&#039;s appalling campaign against equal marriage, or does he get it for the &quot;business as usual&quot; after O&#039;Brien?

Opinions will be divided on this one. I think I&#039;ll go for O&#039;Brien. The unbelievable depth of his hypocrisy is mostly because of his vindictive comments about marriage equality after  all. 

Come on TFTD folks, you&#039;ve got to give The Master a bit more of a challenge than this. TFTD is bordering on the sensible at times these days!|CATEGORIES|47|IP-ADDRESS|94.168.119.214|CREATEDBY|admin|DATE|1362911388
