This is a reprehensible situation. Would it help if
we could organize a tsunami of email protests
addresses to Pope Benny through the Vatican web site?

Especially sad when it happens among people who should
be paragons of virtue and unbiased in all they do.
This is why I decry the fact that we have lost our way
when we can go from a manger to a palace and no one

As I have noted before, the nuns choose their leaders
from the grass-root on up, which has resulted in some
15 Indian nuns being elected Mother Superior General
of their world-wide orders. And you want these nuns
to be downgraded to priests?

Hey, why am I agreeing with you like this? This
couldn't be the ivory tower, Bush-hating, celibacy
opposing, women-priest-supporting ultra liberal from
California, could it? [BTW, Have you libs noted how
many gays - and fathers of gays - and minorities HE
has elevated to major policy positions?]

Anyway, keep up the good work with Goa Sudharop. At
least I can cite you as ONE Mercedes-owning, limousine
liberal who is doing some notable private charity
rather than just trying to get into every taxpayers
wallet:-))
