I see the Pope has reaffirmed the secrecy of the Confessional for paedophiles. You can just imagine how it goes :--

Confessor: Oh Father I have sinned, I am a kiddy fiddler

Priest: You're safe with us. Next time ring this number, we have the largest and most secret paedophile ring in the world. Absolute secrecy is guaranteed by the Pontiff himself.

[Ref: A document from the Vatican's Apostolic Penitentiary said no law could force clergy to violate the seal of secrecy because this duty comes directly from God. ]

If confessional wasn't secret then many would not attend so society will have gained nothing and lots of RC risk, whatever having unconfessed sins risk.

It's not a law thwarting club. The law needs proof anyway not priest hearsay.
Bainbrig, //can’t comment on your own confusion over what is implied or inferred//

Just as well. No confusion here.
Don't you just wish there was a blackball facility?
Woofgang: can you locate the occasion where naomi24 confused imply and infer? (She's now denying her divinity...)

Is it a fact that spare Ed leaves work at 5pm ?
bainbrig, you're trolling.
Bainbrig, the Ed has often requested that posters do not correct other poster's grammar.
Dannyk: I'd refer you to my explanation of 11.37 as to why I plead an exception in this case...

danny, it would be useful if he read the posts. The one at 18:14 Tue especially. Still, he's intent on trolling I expect. From thread to thread, he's making quite a habit of it.
Bainbrig, fortunately, I work in music journalism, where my knowledge and expertise trumps my occasional grammatical lapse.

My editors are more interested in my opinions, and the opinions of those I talk to, than giving their readers lessons in the dry and dusty pedantry of correct syntax.

If I slip, feel free to correct me, and I will feel free to ignore you.
Banbrig, I'd refer you back to what the ED has requested.
O_G - // If confessional wasn't secret then many would not attend so society will have gained nothing and lots of RC risk, whatever having unconfessed sins risk. //

I understand that the premise of Confession is to unburden sins to God via an intermediary who can then forgive them on God's behalf.

It doesn't work for me, but for billions of people, it's a comfort in life, and who would deny them that?

The misuse of something by the few is rarely an adequate reason to deny it to the many.
Does anyone remember the old movie on the subject of a killer confessing to a priest? As I recall, it's very good - but that's to be expected from Alfred Hitchcock.

Naomi, remember it well.Starred Montgomery Clift.
Andy. When we were young, the cry was “It’s a fair cop, guv.”

Now, it seems that the best response is wriggling.

“lessons in the dry and dusty pedantry of correct syntax” is one thing. Misusing one of a pair of often-confused words (lend vs borrow, infer vs imply) is another. Oh, and it ain’t syntax either, however dry or dusty you describe it.

It’s just the wrong word!

Love (for the language)
