Blasphemy
A Scottish group called the Christian Voice recently asked the police to file charges of blasphemy against St Andrews University for performing Terence McNally's controversial play "Corpus Christi." Unfortunately for them, we're not living in the 16th century.
Oh, if only blasphemy were still a crime!
Right now, the secular authorities would be stoking the fires of a spectacular auto-da-fe, preparing to consign the heretics to the flames, in the name of the one true faith.
But despair not, Christian Voice; for there is a place for you in the modern world: America, where the 16th century grows closer with each day.
