The RCC is organized in such a manner that there may be numerous "authorities" who can who can make "authorative" pronouncements and may, in turn, be overruled by another group of mysterious "authorities".
In the meantime the "faithful" do what they damn please.
No habla Espanol.
I gather it's a combination of both. Someone talking out of turn plus the media's love of creating controversy in the Church. Supposedly, the Vatican cracked the whip, prompting the clarification.

Pretty damn stupid of her. Assuming this is the full story, that is. Just cause the bulletin says to arrange at least 6 months in advance with the parish priest for a wedding doesn't mean that things can't happen quicker in cases of emergencies. Dumb, dumb, dumb.

He he. The Colts web site had Championship Sweat Shirts on sale.
It should be a heluva game. The major weak spot for the Steelers may be Big Ben. The Patriots weak spots are the injuries in their secondary and it looks like they will be missing Richard Seymour.
You can't imagine how hard I was rooting for the Jets. :-)
In any event, the two best teams are where they should be.
Well, there have to be priorities.
1. Enforce the Rules.
2. Protect the children.
Billichick should try to stack the line to stop the run and dare Ben to win in the air. In which case Plax and Hines and Antwaan will be in single-coverage. That's the conventional thinking, anyway. We'll try to run and run and run and you'll have to stop it.

They did OK against Peyton.

You don't hear much squawking from the anti-BCS folks who earlier likened the BCS to just having the Steelers and Patriots play, since they were #1 and #2. Well, here we are and in both Conferences #1 is playing #2. We could have avoided the last two weeks of playoffs.

You want a worker who can't control her own sexuality to be in charge of protecting children from illicit sexuality? That's bizarre.
SD
And of course the Pope will have the big whip. NO THANKS!
I'm gonna have to go ahead and say NE is one of the best teams ever (dynasty) whether they win #3 or not. To beat Indy the way they did minus Poole, Law & Seymour is nothing short of amazing. Pittsburgh, on the other hand, hasn't really prooved anything yet. Cower hasn't won anything. This is the time for them to step up.
The Colts receivers are known to be soft so the linebackers and cornerbacks knocked the hell out of them at the line of scrimmage (close to it). Not so with the Steelers. That strategy won't work because their receivers are tough and can't be intimidated. Even so, the Pat's were surprised that Manning didn't try to go deep on them.
If the Pat's were healthy I think they are the better team. As it is, I think the game is a tossup.
Watch for it to be a blowout. :-)
Actually, her job was to protect the children from the Priests.
#2, you don't consider the abuse of the past to be "illicit sexuality"?
Cause that's what I said.
SD
(Making every attempt to be objective.) I agree the Patriots record is amazing in light of the "modern era" of free agency.
Chances are they will lose both their Offensive Coordinator (already gone) and their Defensive Coordinator this year. They will also lose Ty Law (though he has missed most of the year anyway).
If they have continued success they are a true dynasty.

Hi Dave ... Happy New Year.
While it is perfectly understandable that the RC has the right to terminate its employees based upon their own behavior criteria ... it's a bit beyond the pale to say that this woman could not control her own sexuality.
She controlled herself in a perfectly God-given way ... by getting married (though I know the RC has problems with that).
And I think that she was more desperate than anything really (what with a dying boyfriend and all). Pretty heartless to refer to her as 'stupid'.
I was just pulling your chain. I'm happy you appreciated it.
If you can't speak Spanish then how come you can tell us in Spanish that you can't speak Spanish? :')
Forget it about it Reggie. The kid jokes were really cute. I never know what is coming out of Joshua's mouth and am starting to get uncomfortable with him going to the front of the church for a children's lesson on Sunday morning. The last two times have brought chuckles and laughs from the congregation.
For some reason we keep getting baby formula samples in the mail. Funny, at our age,huh? Instead of throwing it away tonight we put a scoop in Cindy's nightcap. Yall think it might be too rich for her once a day?
