Steven Colbert

OK, I am posting this for my parents because I promised to.

An example of his humor

And the segment with Catholic League president William Donohue


Catholic News items

A couple of newsworthy items for Catholics, neither of which interest me all that much but everyone is talking about them so here you go.

Mel Gibson was arrested on suspicion of DUI

Reclaiming the Feminine Spirit in the Catholic Priesthood

Ummm yeah. Lots of press on this item. I wonder if I could get some air time if I tried to get my pet fish ordained?
As I have posted in the past

"... I declare that the Church has no authority whatsoever to confer priestly ordination on women and that this judgment is to be definitively held by all the Church's faithful." - -Pope John Paul II, Ordinatio Sacerdotalis, May 22, 1994

How much clearer can it get?

For a summary of related Canons and the near certain excommunications to soon be delivered see †Ad Majorem Dei Gloriam†: Before the "Ordinations" Tomorrow, Let Us Recall...

A couple of late additions

Ordinatio Sacerdotalis, John Paul II, 22 May 1994 - Apostolic Letter
and from the CDF (Sacred Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith)
Declaration on the Admission of Women to the Ministerial Priesthood (15 October 1976) which clarifies the matter.
