The whole tone of this article - especially the sub-head - is just so smarmy. They're making fun of this lady for a decision to celebrate and live a holy life.

She should be honored and congratulated, not mocked.

The idea of consecrated virgins faded in the Middle Ages, but Pope Paul VI restored the rite in 1970.

*How can that be? Modern Popes are evil, don'cha'know

What a backhanded article!

You can bet that had this woman performed some kind of pagan sexual consecration dance in another church, the reporter would have been filled with teary-eyed praise for her "courage".

Terry Mattingly's site www.getreligion.org has an article with interesting comments on this.
