Unbelievable.

Clergy and a nun help disabled man to have sex with a prostitute before he dies.

[Hildy]

And you would deny this man his dying wish?

[EveningStar]

You would prefer that they subject him to pompous sanctimony in his dying years?

[spectre]

You really think the Good Lord is going to hold this against any of them?

I think they showed love, compassion and mercy on a poor dying soul. Wow..

My mistake -- the clergy and nun involved are actually Anglican. Sorry for the bad ping.

I am laughing . This is BS. Only the poor horney would buy this. Haaaaa! How noble!

"He said he did not discuss his decision directly with Sister Frances, who founded the two hospices. "But I know she gave me her support."

Reading the article, it's a little ambiguous, but he himself says he didn't discuss it with this Sister Frances, AND that the commercial transaction occurred in his parents' home (not in an institution controlled by the nun.)

So it seems he's just bringing Sr. Frances into the picture as a makeweight argument to justify a disappointing action which he had alredy decided upon, and which the nun could not have prevented.

He expresses a certain sadness and ambivalence, too, saying it was "not emotionally fulfilling." Sex-for-hire doesn't increase the love, beauty, trust, or joy of this earthly life -- especially, I daresay, for someone who will soon be leaving it. It just makes everything a little bit colder.

I guess Madonna wasn't available.

Yeah, kinda makes you wonder? No wonder God's ticked off at us.
