Congratulations Argentina!

The Argentinian Senate has voted to legalise gay marriage.

It is a little sobering, though, that yet another staunchly Catholic country is more progressive on civil rights than the UK. Time to play catch up, Mr Cameron.

I'm delighted that the Argentinians appear to be of a more charitable Catholic mind than the Vatican, which has just declared the ordination of women priests to be a crime of the same magnitude as the sexual abuse of children.

Seriously, they never fail to appall. Each time I think there's nothing worse the Vatican can do with their PR, they come out with a shining gem like this one for the Catholic Church's crown.

If I didn't know better, I would think someone near the top was secretly trying to bring down the whole thing.

It would be awesome if it were true. Right now, the prime candidate has to be this Pope.
