Oh what a wonderful church.

We should change the name to:

UNPLANNED PARENTHOOD!

And what really is amazing is the fact that many Protestant churches are becoming anti-pill and anti-condom.

I am having problems getting my mind around this 12th century mentality.

Oh well, at least the priest in question was not a homosexual. hahahaha

Another Bishop in the news. Female choice obsessed Kansas City Bishop Robert Finn indicted by Grand Jury for failure to report child sexual abuse in his district as recently as this year.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The Roman Catholic bishop of Kansas City-St. Joseph, Robert Finn, and the diocese he leads have been indicted by a county grand jury on a charge of failure to report suspected child abuse in the case of a priest who had been accused of taking lewd photographs of young girls....NYT

Washington DC, May 16, 2009 Among the most prominent opponents of President Obama's commencement speech at Notre Dame is Bishop Robert Finn of Kansas City- St. Joseph who in a recent incendiary speech described Catholicism as "the Church militant" and told his audience, "We are at war." link

Bishop Finn condemned President Obama's position on reducing abortion through better family planning, and Finn condemned Notre Dame for having Obama give an address at graduation.

Bishop Finn, in his own words:

The President has supported.......promoting contraception and giving Planned Parenthood a huge blank check. If Catholics don’t see a problem with this then I don’t think they understand the threat it represents to the meaning of marriage, to fidelity, to chastity, to the very sanctity of human life and intimate love.

Catholics see the hypocrisy of Bishop Finn, and doubt his fidelity, chastity or his respect for human life.

No problem, it?s so easy

No problem, it’s so easy you’ll find someone going that way to catch a ride with

“Enter by the narrow gate. For the gate is wide and the way is easy that leads to destruction, and those who enter by it are many. For the gate is narrow and the way is hard that leads to life, and those who find it are few. (Matthew 7:13-14 ESV)

The old story of having power over the lives of others.

If there was such a mass

If there was such a mass transit plan I assume our local Bishop would provide a list of candidates for the first trip.

Vitriol!

I guess we must remember that humans control our churches.

But this bishop sounds as bad as any right wing Evangelical and for what?

Now sick patients have no place to pray in the hospital and no priests hold services, and the nun and the entire staff is on the Bishops 'Going to Hell' list, along with gays and others sinners.

Being environmentally conscious and all that, I'm wondering, is there any kind of mass transit plan for getting to Hell, or should I arrange some kind of ride share? I suppose jollyroger would be an interesting traveling companion, and I'm pretty sure we're both heading the same way...

Our local Most Holy Grand and Imperial Bishop Olmstead recently excommunicated an elderly nun and an entire Catholic Hospital for saving the life of a young mother with three children by terminating a pregnancy that was likely to cause her death and the death of the fetus. Decisions on saving lives, or taking them, is apparently above the pay scale of anyone below Bishop in the Catholic hierarchy.

Now sick patients have no place to pray in the hospital and no priests hold services, and the nun and the entire staff are on the Bishops 'Going to Hell' list, along with gays and others sinners. Olmstead did, in fact, send $50K a year or two ago from what we understand is his 'special account fund' to Maine to fight a vote giving gays some rights. Meanwhile, the Bishop has been laying off employees due to budget shortfalls. His Eminency did not respond when we sent a short essay on what we thought about his treatment of the nun.

You can get LSD from a kind

In reply to I just read some article that

You can get LSD from a kind of ergot that grows on rye. There's a documentary about it and Salem and some other places that were thought to be mass possessions.

Just imagine: natural, organic LSD in your daily bread. Maybe even with FDA approval.

I really love learning little bits and pieces of history.
