I watch all this unfold like a bad movie. Every day, there's a new chapter. I wonder how it will end.
Will the church remain PC and continue to cave, or will the church return to Biblical docturine and fight. Homos in, or homos out.
This is a long movie.

Cardinal Mahony is in hospital being treated for a blood clot in his lung.

If you are a praying person, please say a prayer for Roger Mahony, and if you are Catholic please say The Chaplet of Divine Mercy on his behalf. If you are not familiar with the Chaplet, the link will take you to some information about the devotion as well as how to pray the Chaplet.

In March, Mahony apologized for the "sinful and deplorable" actions of priests who molested children, saying that the Church and the priesthood were being "purified."

Sounds like a line from the movie Braveheart:

English Judge:"Confess, and you shall recieve a quick death--do not, and you must be purified by pain."

William Wallace:"Never in my whole life did I swear allegance to him."

English Judge:"Then on the morrow you shall recieve your purification."

On Friday, President Bush declared May 2, 2002 as a National Day of Prayer. "We have all seen God's great faithfulness to our country...On this National Day of Prayer, I encourage Americans to remember the words of St. Paul: 'Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.'... I ask Americans to pray for God's protection, to express gratitude for our blessings, and to seek moral and spiritual renewal."

REMEMBER GROUP PRAYER ON THIS DAY!

I presume schools don't like teachers to be alone with kids even it the teacher if married, but the Church allows children to be alone with a Priest who've been forced to practice celibacy.

If it's simply training and professionalism, then how come medical practices won't allow doctors, to examine women alone?

Wonder if this has been settled
