In case you missed it, the Catholics Bishops have a war on nuns, as well as a war on Girl Scouts.
The nuns are not taking it lightly, and are going to Rome for a tete-a-tete with the Cardinals.
Most recently they censured “Just Love: a Framework for Christian Sexual Ethics,” by Sister Margaret Farley, for daring to suggest that being fruitful meant one’s life’s work, not bearing a quiverful of children, and sex for pleasure, homosexuality, divorce, and masturbation could be ethical and godly acts.
While I find her often to be shrill and superficial, and on TV seem all too convinced of her own brilliance, I think Maureen Dowd nails it in her latest:
The denunciation of Sister Farley’s book is based on the fact that she deals with the modern world as it is. She refuses to fall in line with a Vatican rigidly clinging to an inbred, illusory world where men rule with no backtalk from women, gays are deviants, the divorced can’t remarry, men and women can’t use contraception, masturbation is a grave disorder and celibacy is enshrined, even as a global pedophilia scandal rages.
I can sit back and watch watch the internecine struggle within the Catholic Church with schadenfreude; Dowd writes as someone who grew up in the church, and knows of what she writes.

Told the Roman Catholic church to kiss my fat ass and marched down to closest Episcopal church, the one with the nice woman priest and a parking lot full of cars with Obama bumper stickers and lots of normal-sized families. All the salvation with only one-third the guilt.
