DAY ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTY SIX POST TWO

the new blogging interface sucks - it won't save the inputted titles at the top, making it harder for me to figure out what day the blog is on. monique has been responsible for some of the most ridiculous quizzes i have taken in a long time. BUT, i got a badge from one of them to post proudly!!! I'm reading about John Wayne Gacy Jr and listening to Sufjan's song about him. As the comments to the video make clear, it features clips from Boys Beware! Speaking of which, the Vatican came out against a group representing 80% of the nuns in America, saying, basically, the group focused way too much on ISSUES THAT ARE TOTALLY UNIMPORTANT AND DON'T MATTER, like "focusing its work too much on poverty and economic injustice" while promoting “radical feminist themes incompatible with the Catholic faith.” Those wild and crazy nuns, with their radical feminism!!! And from the article, when have inquisitions like this been done before? Only in the most dire of circumstances, like those nuns are putting the Catholic faith in now:
In the wake of the priest sexual-abuse scandal, the Vatican ordered a visitation of American seminaries. It is now conducting a visitation of the Legionaries of Christ, a men’s order whose founder, the Rev. Marcial Maciel Degollado, sexually abused young seminarians, fathered a child and was accused of financial improprieties.
Sister Act and crap like this makes me want to read Double Crossed: Uncovering the Catholic Church’s Betrayal of American Nuns.
