POPSVatican Bans Erections On Sundays The pope was then interrupted by howls of laughter from the men and women of the press corp. Even all the nuns attending the press conference burst out laughing. The pontiff frowned, and left the stage with a beet-red face.

POPSUmm - This is not the 12th Century, or is it - in Cincinnati? Here's the crux of this strange case of Bishops and Priests attacking nuns and life-long Catholics. Neither women had been going around telling the world that they believed nuns - women religious - should be allowed ot be ordained. All of a sudden, it seems the men decided they had to ask do you still support this idea or a nun believing such an idea? When one women said yes - and the other wrote a letter supporting the other in the local press - they were fired. ???

POPSPope Quits: Says One Billion Catholics Are Wrong Jesuit priest Hal Head heads up a group of former priests and nuns who made similar decisions to marry. "I'm very happy the Pope has decided to lead from the front in this issue," he said. "There are too many back door men among us," he concluded. Rank and file Catholics are uncertain how the Pope's resignation will affect local congregations, but many are certain the change was long overdue. Bill Phaser, chief of the Marmet, West Virginia Knights of Columbus group, told me, "Priests are real men, just like us. It's high time for all men to be real men, and altar boys to be terrified."

POPSState of Disgrace
declares Gropewind. “I mean, it was absolutely perfect – a position of trust where you’d be above suspicion, lots of legitimate contact with the young and vulnerable and, best of all, the guarantee of a cover-up if things went pear-shaped! All you had to do was confess your supposed sins and say a few Hail Marys and you were away. The worst that could happen was that you’d be quietly shunted of to some remote parish in Wales, which is marginally preferable to jail.” With the introduction of more stringent criminal record checks, other traditional career paths for perverts and paedophiles – such as teaching and child care – have long since become unviable. “That was the beauty of the priesthood- they’d ordain anybody, no questions asked. All you had to do was say you believed in God, Mary was a virgin and that you didn’t want to get married,” he explains. “It’s getting to the stage where the only suitable jobs still open to us will be running ice cream vans or Punch and Judy shows.” Acc

POPSUS nuns on the run from Vatican inquiry more (full at source): Pressure on the nuns, whose numbers in the US have dwindled in the last four decades from 180,000 to just 60,000, has grown however since the launch of a so-called Apostolic Visitation ordered by the Vatican. With interviews and questionnaires, this is a formal inquiry into the activities of women's religious institutions being conducted by Mother Mary Clare Millea, an American nun who lives in Rome. In addition, a so-called doctrinal assessment has been ordered by the Vatican into the course being followed by an umbrella group of women's religious orders in the US, the Leadership Conference of Women Religious, which may not have been toeing the line on issues such as the primacy of the Vatican.

POPSFacedown Burials Widely Used to Humiliate the Dead Arcini searched existing literature to make the first ever catalog of facedown burials from around the world. She found descriptions of more than 600 bodies from 215 grave sites, from Peru to South Korea. Dating from 26,000 years ago all the way up to World War I, these so-called prone burials include men, women, and children, though the majority were men. Facedown burials occurred in all sorts of graves, including single graves, double graves, and mass graves.

POPSChristian Love? While not applicable to to all Christians this report does cast an accusatory finger to the Catholic Church and its well known predisposition of cover-ups and lies to protect their own. IMO, another damning pronouncement of religion in its many guises.
