taking the mick

I read an opinion piece by Greg Craven, vice-chancellor of the Australian Catholic University, in today's Age, in which he complained bitterly about the rise of atheism, and how modern atheists take delight in attacking Catholics. How tragic. I feel quite sad for him.

It must be tough to spend one's life teaching more ignorance to the ignorant, preaching intolerance against non-believers and non-conformists, and getting paid so well for it. No wonder he wants to whinge in public.

Perhaps there's some other Government grant that he can apply for to ease his pain?
