WORLD NET DAILY RUNS THE STORY
While Carrie is doing the laundry, this is the ghost of Carrie checking in to post this bit of good news that can't be ignored!
Check out the story at World Net Daily:
A group of homosexual drag queens who dress up in outlandish nun costumes has lost its lease to hold risqué bingo games at a San Francisco parish after outcry from faithful Catholics throughout the United States. In September, the "Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence," a self-described "leading-edge order of queer nuns," began holding "Revival Bingo" games at Most Holy Redeemer parish in San Francisco's homosexual Castro neighborhood. The next game, featuring master of ceremonies "Peaches Christ" -- was scheduled for Thursday, All Souls Day, when Catholics typically pray for deceased loved ones.
Catherine's blog was also mentioned:
The Threshing Grain Catholic weblog commented, "I don't think that masquerading and parading around on Catholic diocesan church property blaspheming the Catholic Church and displaying this behavior near the Blessed Sacrament while on the same property is 'shared values'! The ends DO NOT justify the means! Charity!? Please! Where is their charity in their displayed and deplorable antics against Holy Mother Church and Christianity!?"
And the best part of the story:
Permission to use Ellard Hall should not have been given to the [the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence]. The Archdiocese of San Francisco has directed the parish to end the arrangement immediately. For years the group has directed contempt and ridicule at Catholic faith and practices. The particular targets of the group's derision are women in religious communities, for whom Catholics, and many non-Catholics, have a special reverence and respect. Fr. Meriwether is on leave from his duties.[emphasis mine - ct]
Dare we hope that the leave will be permanent?
Nice work, Catherine!
Our Lady of Fatima, pray for us!
