Little Steven aka Steve Van Zandt – I am a patriot
Steve being Bruce Springsteen’s guitarist as well as Silvio in some TV show thing and who will be in Tower Records meeting the public on Sunday.
(nice intro speech talking about the difference between patriotism and nationalism)
Kind of strange that the Count Me Out campaign want to leave the Catholic Church and yet profess to Catholics in the ’email your Diocese’ section.
Hey eoin,
I’m one of the people involved in the site.
In fact, our intention was to provide information and make it easier for people who *already* consider themselves non-catholic and wish either to regularise their status or, if they’re comfortable with doing so, to defect as a means of protest.
However, in researching the website we found that there were people who were sympathetic but, for many and various reasons, didn’t feel comfortable defecting completely from the church. For this reason we decided to provide a way of simply registering their protest in a targetted way.
It isn’t about “professing” to anybody, its about making it easier to have your voice heard. And, as it happens, the defection documents have proven much more popular than the email feature.
