Okay, a bit more lightness. Correction: first bit of levity in a while. I re-read my last post-supposedly a break from heaviness--and I go off on crazy tangents and follow-up with an endless series of quotes on love. That caught my attention. I need to work on lightness and fun. In my defense, I do have a sense of humor though it tends to be dark, dry, biting, and few people realize I'm joking.

Over time, the 'sorry, doesn't make sense' list was longer than the 'okay, I can live wi... Read More

Revelations of new cases of sexually misbehaving priests, cover-ups, and truly bizarre ripple effects continue to emerge. A magnificent example of the ineptitude of Church leaders to 'manage' this crisis hit the news a few weeks ago. Some may recall that groups of aging nuns are being evicted from their residences of 30-40 years, so the Church can sell the property to settle lawsuits !
