So, were the friars just making it up?
I posted last week that Gorbachev was praying in Assisi and that the friars at the basilica of San Francesco said he admitted to being a Christian. Now he is denying it. Is it the press who screws the stories up - or do others just make this stuff up? I’m telling you, I’m getting to the point where I don’t believe anyone any longer.
Last evening I watched Frontline on PBS exposing the manipulations of the Bush administration to depose Saddam Hussein and get us into war. The evidence seems pretty clear people in the administration were lying.
And take a look at the current presidential race and the lousy candidates. Does anyone tell the truth any more?

Thanks to Paula for the Gorbachev update.

Jesus objectified.
The so-called Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence in San Francisco are at it again with their annual competition for the hottest looking Jesus. The competition is held on Easter Sunday, featuring barely clad male contestants. It is not funny. It is blasphemous. It is hypocritical for men, dressed as nuns, pretending to be Catholic, to put on such a show.
Catholics have labelled the annual pageant blasphemous, considering that previous entrants have included “old school Jesus”, “surfer Jesus” and “zombie Jesus”, an irreverent take on the Easter message of Christ rising from the dead.
But the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence insist the contest is all part of their mission to “promote universal joy and expiate stigmatic guilt”. - Source
