One person said to me, “If I do cross the Tiber, I will preach from the rooftops about the wickedness I have seen envelop my church. I cannot stand to see this happen to anyone else.”

. . . and I do. I've had occasion to witness to several well-meaning people who thought it would be "just fine" if women were ordained, etc. . . .

Not now ... not ever!

Reminder that on July 31, 12 catholic women will ride a boat down some river in Pennsylvania and be ordained priests. We have the great comfort of knowing that the next day, the Holy Father will ask them to retract their 'vows' or be excommunicated. These women are stubborn and defiant.

Me too, again today, in fact. I'm a barber. One of my regular clients, a retire Nazarene minister, walked in, sat down & without so much as a "hello" said, "I saw that new woman bishop on TV last nite. I think that's really NEAT!"

Believe me, when I got done telling him all the reasons why it is anything BUT "neat," he was apologizing profusely for being suckered into looking at the Devil himself & seeing an angel! Glad I was able to make the scales fall from his eyes while the hair was falling from his head. I can't overlook, however, the possibility that standing behind him wielding a sharp pair scissors might have had something to do with his willingness to see where he'd gone wrong. LOL
