‘Mad Men,’ Maddening Times - Judith Warner Blog - NYTimes.com - Unless this issue has the abortion restrictions removed, then we are going backward. And no, I don't care nor give a damn re: the holy mother roman catholic church and its opinions, values and / or stands.
Vatican Plan to Oversee Conversion of Anglicans - NYTimes.com. . . . . . In an extraordinary bid to lure traditionalist Anglicans en masse, the Vatican on Tuesday announced it would make it easier for Anglicans uncomfortable with their church’s acceptance of female priests and openly gay bishops to join the Roman Catholic Church while retaining many of their traditions. How arrogant!
The ramifications of this 'union' of Anglican and Roman Catholic bodies is better left to the theologians and the individuals who are bound up in the process. I dare say that it will be an interesting situation were a gay priest, bishop or archbishop to apply for conversion, with or without a family as a foil, or as mentioned in the article a female priest. Stay tuned. Only time will tell.

Those pro-gay Christian billboards that appeared a few years back in Indianapolis are back, and this time they're going to the belly of the beast: Texas.
This one lady's reaction is just too funny, and proves the value of posting these billboards:
Christine Lutz was traveling down Interstate-30, just east of Fort Worth, when she came face to face with a billboard containing a pro-gay message. "I cringed. I was disgusted at the same time," she said.
The billboard angered Lutz so much, that she fired off a stern e-mail. "I said how dare you take the scriptures and twist it to fit your needs," she recalled.
Yes, because conservatives have never taken the scriptures and twisted them to fit their needs! How dare those queers actually read the Bible and interpret it themselves! Don't they know that only upstanding evangelicals are allowed to know what God really thinks?
It's more scary than it is hysterical, since if these Christians knew anything about the history of their religion, they'd know how many battles were fought, and how many people were either killed or excommunicated, for the right to interpret the Bible for themselves.
What should be shocking from this article is the fact that there are people who become angry when other people choose to read the Bible themselves. You don't have to burn heretics at the stake anymore - these folks already stopped wanting to know what the Bible really says.
