A fire that broke out in a Warsaw church during Easter Sunday mass sent worshippers fleeing in panic, PAP news agency reported. A tipped-over votive lamp within the traditonal Christ's tomb tableau quickly engulfed the display, damaging surrounding art works and pews. The 250 worshippers hurriedly left St Andrew's Church, the downtown Warsaw parish of local artists and intellectuals. The fire brigade brought the blaze under control, the the church will require a general overhaul.

Much as I regret damage done to churches that are usually wonderful places of architecture and art works etc, I cannot regret anything happening to the RC church after the recent outburst in England by the head of the RC church here. irresponsibly against the research of producing stem cells that might save/ease thousands of lives in the future by mixing human cells with those of animals. He is accusing the scientific community of wanting to create Frankensteins and other ridiculous remarks and even telling Members of Parliament how to vote when the Bill that is going through Parliament comes to that stage. I wonder where in the Bible it says anything like this?!!
I believe from the reports that are now coming on the media that he has done more harm than good to the RC church in England.
I am completely for anything that the church has to say that is based not just on convoluted beliefs dreamed up from nowhere, but sometimes it goes a 'bridge too far'.
