Vatican Banishes Limbo to Limbo
By Ann Magnuson
The Vatican has decided that Limbo really doesn't exist after all and unbaptised babies CAN get into heaven. What a relief. But something tells me Mel Gibson and pere aren't buying it. I wish Mel would make a movie of Dante's Divine Comedy (espeically the Inferno part) based on those magnificent Gustave Dore illustrations (image of Purgatorio above). Yeah! Use some of that newfangled CGI stuff -- a Sin City for the real sinners of the world! *I'm suprised someone hasn't made it into a video game yet!*

Chicago Archbishop Slips on Holy Water, Breaks Hip
By Ann Magnuson
Best Easter Sunday headline ever! From the L.A.Times:
The archbishop of Chicago, Cardinal Francis George, was hospitalized with a slight hip fracture Saturday morning after he apparently slipped and fell inside a church while blessing Easter baskets, archdiocese officials said.
I'm sorry to laugh. I kinda feel like Madonna in Truth or Dare giggling about her hairdresser getting sodomized. Naughty! Naughty! Why does it all seem connected?
