    Religious belief can help relieve pain, say researchers

    I wasn't too sure where to drop this, it could go in Religions and Cults or in New Science (given that it is apparently a scientific study). Not sure what it says about believers though... :) Source I wonder if this could be similar to feeling better when a loved one is near? Interesting...

    Catholic ‘witch-hunt’ to expose gay clergy

    Well this could as easily go into mainstream news, or if there is a suitable thread then I'm sure some kind mod will move it. Source It looks like another 1 woman crusade against gays, funnily enough though she used to work at a local college where she taught RE. Apparently her first...

    James Casbolt

    Hmmm, stumbled across this (off work looking after my sick son): From here. Seem to tie in quite a lot of conspiracy theories. Anybody else come across him? Is he barking? If there's a thread already then feel free to delete or merge this.
