Have we lost sight of that which is holy?

DPF has a post up about a debate that took place in Holy Trinity Cathedral in Parnell, chaired by Auckland Central MP Nikki Kaye.

Public debating is a sport, the proposition "That the Government should promote atheism" is neither here nor there.

What is of more import is according to DPF the Chair, Auckland Central MP Nikki Kaye produced a one liner
how ******* awesome it would be to be married to a hairdresser, as Aussie PM Julia Gillard is.

Our friend Adolf expressed his dismay at this and copped a twenty point demerit in the process. C'est la vie.

Surely a Cathedral is God's Holy House. A place we enter with "faith, reverence, and the fear of God"?

It would seem not in these enlightened times.

What I do find a little odd though a word which needs bleeping out on DPF's blog is now acceptable in a Cathedral.

I just can't get my head around that one.
