Vatican Praises EU Decision on Crucifixes in ClassroomsIndeed! So let's see what made the popey guy smile. The Vatican is happy that the EU decided (insanely) to allow crucifixes to be displayed on the walls of public school classrooms in Italy. So much for the separation of church and state. Popey guy likey.
And no surprise. If the EU had decided it was fine and dandy to display Coca-Cola signs in Italian public school classrooms, I'll bet Coca-Cola's chairman would be pretty happy, too. At no cost to them, their image could now be burned into the minds of all public school students in Italy. You can't get better branding than that.
And so the evil popey guy is pleased. As the CEO of the sleazy Roman Catholic church, he damn well should be.
The EU has made a stupid decision with wide ramifications. Like blasphemy laws, this sort of thinking belongs in the Dark Ages. It is the opposite of democracy. Today the popey guy is laughing in some dark and airless corner of his palace. He is one happy popey guy. And that's a very sad thing.

I wonder if pictures of the President are still hung in US classrooms or at least in the school's main offices? I haven't noticed, but then I don't spend a lot of time at school these days.
I may take my camera on a leadership photo quest and see if I can find Waldo, er I mean the President hanging around any public buildings.
