Hallelujah -
then WTF?
While I am working I need a little mental stretch from time to time. The internet provides some nice one minute breaks. And I do try to keep my web reading (at least tangentially) work related. So there was cause for rejoicing in reading about the Supreme Court upholding the partila birth abortion ban.
Then the WTF moment came later. Searching for an article, I came to the U.S. Catholic website. Couldn’t find what I was looking for, but I did get quite a jolt from their “Quick Poll”:
If the church offered short-term service for the priesthood:
*I would seriously consider becoming a priest
*It would not affect my interest or calling
*I can't become a priest because I'm a woman
What the? It would seem by implication that this would a feasible option. Which makes U.S. Catholic look even loopier than usual. So there were no write-in answers. No places for “Whose idea was this?” “This is a joke, right”? “Is this The Onion?” or “I want to be a princess and live in a pink castle made out of jelly beans.”
