Thank Heaven for Little Girls

Uhm.... would someone tell Reuters that these women are not, in fact, Roman Catholic priests?

I mean, come on.


Oh Holy Ship! The bow is softly rocking....

I do like the boat angle though- as if sailing out to international waters confirms some sort of legitimacy on this sort of nonsense? Don't laugh- as to Reuters it apparently does. And is it just me- or is Canada always involved?

Elisabeth Schussler Fiorenza, a professor at Harvard Divinity School, said the Catholic hierarchy as "morally bankrupt". She was the July 22 keynote speaker at the international Women's Ordination Worldwide conference, which was held in Ottawa and drew nearly 500 people from 20 countries. Wow! Five hundred!

Curiously, not one of the members was under 50 years of age. Sounds to me like these gals either just want attention or need a man.
