quote: Twenty-four hours ago news broke that the Vatican had condemned the book “Just Love: A Framework for Christian Sexual Ethics,” a publication by a prominent nun-theologian that disagrees with church teaching on same-sex marriage, masturbation and remarrying after divorce. Monday morning, the book’s reported ranking on Amazon: 142,982 Tuesday afternoon, after a day of furious news coverage of the Vatican censure: It’s at #16. Story at Washington Post Must admit this amused me enormously.

Well, I'm not going to go out and buy that book or anything but I must admit, I sorta chuckled, too. Reminds me of what happened with The DaVinci Code.. clever story, horrid book but sales went through the roof once the 'church' got involved!

Just sent the link to a novelist friend so we can brainstorm about how to get him condemned too. Come to think of it, he does have a nonmarital sex scene.

Please note that the Church's stance on same-sex marriage is entirely consistent with the abuse of altar boys because the pederasty takes place between same sex, but outside of marriage. Yeah, I've not been really impressed with the Church since John Paul II died.
