Sounds like HELL! Sounds like HELL! I rarely listen to “thought for the day” for good reason,- I don’t believe in a word they say! This morning, however, I could hear the “whine” from my radio as I got ready for the day. You can’t mistake the subject, you don’t…
Dear Baroness Hollins, I am writing to you after hearing that you have been appointed to the vatican’s commission to look into the clergy child abuse crimes. I am the Co-founder of Survivors Voice…

Sue Cox -Recovered catholic – happy Atheist, Humanist, with a Buddhist slant! I keep tweaking away at my “title”, sometimes I think people must wonder why! There was a time when I referred to myself simply as a “recovered catholic”, but my Australian friends said it made them think I…
