I wonder how this will go down: I have a friend who is a RC priest who smokes, I must ask him about it. Anyway the juicy bits of this are:
"The article in an authoritative Roman Catholic publication, prepared with the knowledge and endorsement of the Pope's most senior aides, declares that smokers cannot damage their own health and that of others 'without moral responsibility'.
The article stops short of branding smoking a sin. But its author says that lighting up is 'not neutral either in social or indeed moral terms'.
So will we see RC's picketting tobacco producers and cigarette factories? Maybe, but I think that smoming seems to have a big bond with RC's in my observation the Christians most likely to are RC ....
