The saddest part of this story, however, is that Mr. Wallis seems to have no friends who were willing to speak the truth to him about this. His parents, for example, accommodated his desire by providing the family home as a safe environment for his assignation with the prostitute. And, oh yes, the Anglican nun who runs the hospice where Mr. Wallis lives, Sister Frances Dominica, supported him in his decision. “It is not our job to make moral decisions for our guests,� says Sister Frances. “We came to the conclusion that it was our duty of care to support Nick emotionally and to help ensure his physical safety.�

A word to Sister Frances: Real nuns don’t run brothels.

Nowadays, you don't have to go to church to find a priest anymore.

You can find one, a click away.

"We are available to help people who reasonably request the sacraments," Reverend Jim Koerber told WTOC.

...

They all are resigned or retired from the Catholic church, and they are all married.

"It is not technically allowed, but it goes on regularly," Jim said." They are working actively in priestly ministry, just like me, and enjoying the heck out of it."recently, calling it a disorder that can be corrected or suppressed.

Anti-Catholic Internet writings of two employees of former Sen. John Edwards' presidential campaign have triggered a firestorm in the online community, but the candidate said he would keep the women on his staff.

Here are some quotes from the blog entries from these two women:

Writing on the Pandagon blogsite, December 26, 2006, Amanda Marcotte wrote that "the Catholic church is not about to let something like compassion for girls get in the way of using the state as an instrument to force women to bear more tithing Catholics." On October 9, 2006, she said that "the Pope’s gotta tell women who give birth to stillborns that their babies are cast into Satan’s maw."

...or...

'On November 21, 2006, Melissa McEwan said on AlterNet that "some of Christianity’s most prominent leaders—including the Pope—regularly speak out against gay tolerance." On November 1, 2006, on her blogspot Shakespeare’s Sister, she referred to President Bush’s "wingnut Christofascist base" when lashing out against religious conservatives. On February 21, 2006, she attacked religious conservatives again, this time saying, "What don’t you lousy motherf---ers understand about keeping your noses out of our britches, our beds, and our families?"

There's more, but it gets kinda adult and graphic and there might be kids reading this entry, so if you are interested in reading more excerpts from this blog, click on the article below entitled "John Edwards Tolerates Anti-Catholic Bigotry and Vulgarity".
