I always wondered how women like Wilma and Betty, with hips that small, managed to give birth to babies like Pebbles and Bamm-Bamm, with heads so freaking huge...

Yeesh. If pixies such as Lily Allen and Natalie Portman can safely drop sprogs, I think the Bedrock Babes wouldn't have any problem at all. Even if the medical facilities were like something from the Stone Age ... :cool:

Today in the USA it's the Iowa Republican Caucus, the first stage in deciding who will be their candidate in the upcoming elections. All watched over by an approving god, if the candidates are to be believed ... or maybe not?

My favourite is the eaten by worms and died passage. Imagine how long you would have to sit there until worms ate you to death. The guy should have been canonised just for his patience!

Okay, I've just scrapped a response I've written after realising this is a pisstake.

Now who does that reflect worse on; me, or the Christian right?

US Bishop almost obeys 1 Timothy 3:2. Interesting to see that the diocese was helping "the children with college costs" since I seem to remember that Eamon Casey got himself into trouble for persuading his diocese to help out within funding his own son.

Unbeatable last two lines in the report all the same.

A Catholic bishop who fathered two children has stepped down.

Pope Benedict has accepted the resignation of Gabino Zavala, an auxiliary bishop of Los Angeles, the Vatican said. The Archbishop of Los Angeles, Jose Gomez, wrote in a letter to worshippers that Bishop Zavala told him in December that he was the father of two teenage children. The children, who are minors, live with their mother in another state.

Archbishop Gomez said that the archdiocese was offering the family "spiritual care," as well as funding to help the children with college costs. In his letter he described the news as "sad and difficult" and said Bishop Zavala had been living privately and not participating in ministry since resigning.

Bishop Zavala is 60 and was born in Mexico. He has campaigned against the death penalty and for immigrants' rights. The Vatican did not spell out the reason for Bishop Zavala's resignation in its statement, but made reference to canon law which allows bishops to step down before normal retirement age if they are ill or unfit for office for some other reason.

The Pope has shown no sign of relaxing the Roman Catholic Church's rule on priestly celibacy, which has been in place since the 11th Century. In March 2010 he described celibacy as "the sign of full devotion, the entire commitment to the Lord and to the 'Lord's business', an expression of giving oneself to God and to others".

Priests are not allowed to marry but married Anglican priests who convert to Catholicism are exempted from the celibacy rule. Two days ago Pope Benedict appointed an American married priest to head the first US structure for Anglicans converting to Roman Catholicism.

Bishop Zavala's big mistake there was not getting himself ordained as an Anglican priest first.
Let that be a lesson to any young lad that might be thinking of taking up a priestly vocation. (permanent jobs are hard enough to find these days)
