Catholic Trivia

What is it about Catholics that leads so many of the bloggers to be waspish and critical? I've just seen one blog in which, after seeing the video of the two Popes, the author commented that the altar in the background wasn't a portable one! Just about as relevant to the Faith as all that tosh about red shoes. Can this be the electronic witness to which we were called or is it the Catholic version of the bar-room comments you get on a bad phone-in.
