Oh, that Bones...
Closed Cafeteria has a discussion of the current crop of Catholic stereotypes on TV. I try to avoid Law & Order as much as possible...not easy since it is as ubiquitous as “That ‘70’s Show” reruns and those infomericials promoting colon cleansing. But I find “Bones” to be a mild diversion from reality. This week’s episode danced about a variety stereotypes about Catholicism, especially the priesthood. It was an interesting twist - they trotted out these overworked devices and then implanted them into the psyche of a disturbed lady who worked in the rectory. Our perp (wrongly) suspected the worst of the priests and made it her mission to save them from themselves by way of botanicals growing in the church yard.

Well, that’s a new twist. Crazy rectory-working lady. That's not much of a diversion from reality.

That’s TV, remember. We’re not all crazy. Not even lazy. I got a lot of work done today. This week-end I’m resting my voice. Because Monday the phone will start ringin’ like crazy.
