Tivo remembers to catch all of my favorite shows for me, but just in case – here is a list of when all of the season finales will air. [via Promo guy]Speaking of season finales, did anyone watch the second Law & Order: Criminal Intent last night? Did you it give you flashbacks of the whole Kaylee Nicole thing that happened last year? Whoa. I kept thinking about that, over & over. It’s amazing the hoaxes that people pull off. I still feel bad about all of the kind-hearted people that were hurt by that. I was stunned myself when the truth came out – I would have never questioned it otherwise.

The Term Paper on Turnaround and Return to Profitablility of Volkswagen
AUBURN HILLS -- After being on death's door in the early '90s, Volkswagen is back in peak form with U.S. sales breaking records month after month.And the German-based automaker is promising more of the same going forward. It is hoping to boost sales with the introduction of turbocharged versions of its high-volume Jetta and Golf models."The question now is how high is up," says David Huyett, VW of ...

More on the priest issue I posted about earlier.
Marriage of Faith is an article about priests who have left their priesthood to become married. I came across it as I was looking for information to back up what I learned a few years ago – priests don’t get married because the Church, which owned so much of the world in the middle ages, didn’t want the property left in a will to someone’s family. From the article:’ 39 Popes Were Married’ and ”St. Peter Was a Married Priest.’ ‘ Here’s what the organization wants people to know: that prior to the year 1139, popes, bishops, and priests were married.
That Catholic priests in the Eastern rites, such as Ukrainians, Romanians, and Armenians, are allowed to marry. That many priests who have served for decades are cut off with no pension after they marry. That the Catholic Church changed the celibacy law in the 12 th century to prevent priests, upon their death, from leaving their homes and land to their families. ”Celibacy,’ ‘ declares Hag gett, ”is all about real estate.’ ‘I learned about this when I was in Germany, visiting places like the Prince Bishop’s Palace in Wurzberg. Note the name… Prince Bishop.
The Bishop of the region was also the Prince of the region. If you follow the link and look at the fresco’s painted on the ceiling, they are paintings of the Bishop with his mistress. The one that bore him something like 12 children. But they were never married… so when he died, the Church kept the property. Yes, I am glad to be Catholic these days, after Vatican II, but back then I would have been handing Martin Luther the nails to use to hang his thesis on the cathedral door.
The Essay on Bishops Church Policy Priests
DALLAS (AP) - At an extraordinary meeting on the sex scandal that has shaken the Roman Catholic church, U. S. bishops took a step toward a zero-tolerance policy for pedophile priests after scrapping a proposal that would have kept some abusive clergy in the ministry. Bishops met in a closed-door session until late Thursday as they crafted a plan that Catholic leaders hope will end a crisis that ...

Won’t you help to save the boobies? : : Christine wrote at 10: 16 AM in Notables: : Return For More: : Talk Back (1): : Time for a Change… This NY Times article (subscription required) makes some very good points about what has been going on with the Cardinals in Rome. The quote that sums it up best for me is, ‘We are angry that these spiritual arbiters are unyielding when the ‘sins’ belong to us, not to them.’ The are actually debating over who should be removed from the priesthood based on the number of times that they abused children, depending on the age of the victims and the frequency.
WHY would these things matter? NO. They don’t. They did finally agree on a ‘one-grope-and-you ” re-out’ policy, but that could be watered down at the Bishop’s conference this summer. Let’s get this straight. Until I get an annulment, the Church won’t allow me to remarry.
I also don’t follow the Vatican’s terms about birth control. So my sins here are to have married & divorced and to take pills so I don’t get pregnant (or just to keep my hormones at an even level. ) If I remarry without an annulment, the Church will consider that wrong, they won’t recognize it, and I won’t be allowed to participate in the sacraments such as Communion. But we ” re not tossing the known child-abusing priests out? We will allow them to stay in their positions, performing the sacraments? Isn’t that a thousand times worse them me participating in them? What is wrong with this picture? It’s time to allow priests to be married.
The Term Paper on A Short History Of Computers
Whether you know it or not you depend on computers for almost every thing you do in modern day life. From the second you get up in the morning to the second you go to sleep computer are tied into what you do and use in some way. It is tied in to you life in the most obvious and obscure ways. Take for example you wake up in the morning usually to a digital alarm clock. You start you car it uses ...
I strongly believe that if there wasn’t such a shortage of priests they would be responding to this in the way that they should be. Regardless, it’s time to purge the corruption from the alter and excommunicate the priests involved in this horrendous crime.
