  I mean you're right haha, but while I hate to be that guy, this is from Britain, where ministers are members of government, not the church.

    and he resigned months ago.

    there was an ex, two kids, and their education being paid for out of that salary, too.

    must be a slow news day or sumthin.

  Governmental Minister, not a religious one.

      Meh, I assumed the same until I read the article lol, Science Minister too, so about as far from a religious one as you can get!

  I made the same mistake a few months ago. There was some emergency and a minister called for the closure of a whole region or somesuch and I had the same response. "What the fuck, Canadian pastors have way too much power. I thought it was bad in America."
