Hugs Maria for all the disenfranchised and disillusioned Catholics I know.
'The Cautionary Tale of Numero Cinco'
Spike's Bitches 23: We've mastered the power of positive giving up.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
orthodox paganism
I think there was a website, apparently it involves really bad webpage design.
Polter-cow, Nova, or rather Mr. Griswold, sent me that yesterday, Aw, he wants to be a Baby Bayliss...yay him. He'd better get used to being taken for granted a lot though. The picture of the new pope gave me a wiggins. An uninformed wiggins, but still, the man looks scary.
I'm disappointed. Really and truly. The marginalization of many American Catholics continues.
I'm sorry, Maria. It's not my church, but I'm disappointed that it didn't turn out better for you and your ilk.
if there's such a thing as orthodox paganism
Modern paganism is like fanfic. The answer is always yes.
I'm sorry too, Maria. But like I said in Natter, the guy's 78. We'll be conclaving again in no time.

And, (apologies to Maria) I'm totally hearing this in a wiseguy accent.
Wasn't that part of the plot of Godfather III?
I think Ratzinger is more a placeholder pope than anything else -- he is 78, so even if his health is good, we'll probably get another new pope in the next decade. Maybe the forces for change within the church decided to wait until they could elect a pope who wouldn't be transitional. Or maybe there just aren't enough forces for change. I can't really say.
In any case, Mal is adorable. He looks so alert and person-like.
Wasn't that part of the plot of Godfather III?Yes, and I think it was about JPI.
Maria, I'm sorry, too (and I suspect my apologies need to go out to JZ, as well).
