It has been widely reported – there is a variation on the story here. The Lawyers Christian Fellowship has done very well at portraying the story as a freedom of speech issue…

    All right, all right, I’m back already. [Well, back to work tomorrow]. And with this little gem – an online demonstration of the physics of the Botafumeiro, the enormous thurible swung in Santiago de Compostela.
