Oh, now I get why they have plenty of room for the menagerie of other creatures! (it's great to see others picking up on this whacky stuff!)

It's time for serious reading, daily morning (sans Haugen-type jingles) mass and if I can, Sunday mass at St. John Cantius in Chicago. Between the neo-pagans, wiccan winkers, female ordainers, enneagrams, magic magnets, mazes, Jungian pop slop, touchy-feely Deists, world federation types, Democratic Party recruiters, and book promoters, I'll sacrifice the thrill of it all. Would I sit in church listening to Shirley McClain or her male clone? Then why would I want to hear the banalities of Sr. Joan Chittister and her legions of middle-aged and elderly semi-heretics?

Funny how they will reject the Vatican for the most part and turn their allegiance over to the U.N. One of the most common elements of dissident religious sites is the Earth Charter.
