Protest the Catholic Church

Richard Dawkins and Christopher Hitchens have commissioned human rights lawyers to make the case for charging Joseph Ratzinger (Pope Benedict XVI) for his role in covering up the rape and sexual molestation of children by Catholic priests.

The pope is supposed to be coming to the UK in September, and I've been thinking about what action I can take in protest. I'm sure there will be rallies or demonstrations, and I'll definitely go, but what else? Where do you send letters in this case?

Paul Constant at The Stranger has come up with one interesting solution: excommunication. Might think about that.
