It's about a different topic, but this comment amused me this week.

"Pope Pius XII described evolution as a valid scientific approach to the development of humans in 1950 and Pope John Paul reiterated that in 1996. But Ravasi said the Vatican had no intention of apologizing for earlier negative views.
'Maybe we should abandon the idea of issuing apologies as if history was a court eternally in session,' he said, adding that Darwin's theories were 'never condemned by the Catholic Church nor was his book ever banned'."
I'm not sure why it affects me like it does, but it really amuses me.
