“Two thoughts I have on the Church’s new anti-homosexuality doctrine for priests:
1) Apparently all priests are expected to want to have sex with women but then not do it. This, I assume, is why women can’t be priests. I wonder if there’s room for lesbians though…
2) A man who commits an act of cold blooded murder can repent, do penance, be forgiven for his sins, and then become a priest. A gay man who has remained celibate all his life cannot.”
(Actually, a repentant murderer does need a dispensation in order to become a priest. It’s not yet clear if such a dispensation would be required for a celibate homosexual.)
MIKE LEAVES: Kinsley exits the L.A. Times on a “bitter note.”
BLANCO’S REP: This looks like good news for the Louisiana governor.
