Say What?!?!

Many things I find out on the web about religion and the Episcopal Church prompt me to comment - and I frequently do so here. Occasionally, however, something comes up that pretty much speaks for itself.

This morning’s New York Times carries a story about the Vatican’s recently released rules regarding sex abuse. Here’s the first paragraph:

“The Vatican issued revisions to its internal laws on Thursday making it easier to discipline sex-abuser priests, but caused confusion by also stating that ordaining women as priests was as grave an offense as pedophilia.”

Well, they certainly made their position clear. I guess Catholics in the pews will draw their own conclusions... as will the rest of us. You can read the rest of the article here.
