Pope
accuses media of pro-gay bias

In a statement released for the Church’s World Communications Day, scheduled for this May, the pontiff said the media should concentrate on “marriage and family life,” and realize their responsibility to the general public. Despite claiming to reject censorship, the pope went on to say too many newspapers, TV channels and radio stations promote issues such as homosexuality, as well as contraception and abortion.

I think JPII is dead right on this one. Homosexuality is shown in a very favorable
light on TV. Anyone who doesn’t accept homosexuality as wholesome diversity is represented
as a bigot, rather than someone with moral conviction.

Good Looking?

Aside from being a sad statement about the priorities of British youths, it'd frightening that anyone would say Michael Jackson has good looks. *shudder*

Beckham, not Jesus, is our hero, say British youths: poll

"LONDON (AFP) – George W. Bush and Jesus were left far behind football superstar David Beckham in an Internet survey of British young people's heroes…."

Providing further proof that good looks are the key to success, Beckham was followed in poll by filmstar Brad Pitt with 60 votes and singer Justin Timberlake with 58. Next came Michael Jackson, followed by Jennifer Lopez and Robbie Williams in the survey published on www.celebritystudy.com."

When Is A Split A Good Split?

When it’s right-thinking (that’s what orthodox means) Episcopalians fighting heterodox
brethren who seem to think open-minded means empty-headed.

Orthodox Anglicans May Split From Church

Good Catholics or Poor Historians?

The Church has NEVER supported contraception. A quick glance at early documents, like the Didache, makes that obvious. So how do these idiots figure good Catholics should use condoms? Good Catholics should keep Captain Winky in the pants until marriage.

"We believe in God. We believe that sex is sacred. We believe in caring for each other. We believe in using condoms."

How about this shorter version? "We believe in heresy."

Catholic Group Says Good Catholics Use Condoms

"WASHINGTON, Nov. 28 /U.S. Newswire/ — 'Good Catholics Use Condoms' is the message of a new global public education effort to counter Vatican misinformation on condoms, beginning December 1, 2003, World AIDS Day. The campaign, a new phase in the Condoms4Life campaign, kicks off in Washington, D.C., with provocative and eye-catching ads appearing in dioramas in the most highly traveled Metro stations throughout the United States capital. Then, on a rolling basis, the campaign will move worldwide throughout 2004 with newspaper and billboard ads, Internet action alerts, and educational materials all geared to reach Catholics at risk of HIV/AIDS with the truth about condoms."
