As I said earlier, keep politics and religion totally seperate in my opinion. Catholic Church at the UN, I can see no justification for that.
Bishops in the upper house. Why is that, do they have the right to veto the commons and block laws being passed.
It may be absurd to you, but if other countries recognise it as a state then thats apparently good enough for the UN and its good enough for me.
A cynic would say that even without religion we, as a race would cause just as much strife and suffering around the world.
btw i would like to say that I also think the vatican having a special place in the UN is a quirk of history and one that should be rectified, but this topic would have been very dull wouldn't it? :P
