Can you believe this (not the ruling but the adjudicator's questions)?


IRB adjudicator rebuked by court for refusing man who failed Catholic ‘trivia’

And rightly so!

There are a lot of cradle Catholics in Canada, and a lot of Catholics very active in their church, who couldn't answer those questions. What next? Asking people claiming to be Lutheran to state Luther's 95 theses? Asking Anglicans (well, C of E) to name Henry the Eigth's wives?

I don't claim to know the truthfulness of his claims but this certainly isn't the way to test them...

Yes, the questions were ridiculous, for diverse reasons.
