I can't believe it, but apparently this bishop has had accident in 2013 for driving and alcohol was involved. Here's article about how the bishop pleaded guilty for driving under the influence.

This bishop who excommunicated Nancy Pelosi also had a DUI charge. Here's a source link for that.

I'm shocked that this has happened at least twice. Stop driving under the influence!

Pope Francis has warned priests and nuns about the dangers of watching pornography online, saying it "weakens the priestly heart".

The Pope, 86, was responding to a question about how digital and social media should be best used, at a session in the Vatican. 

Pornography, he said, was "a vice that so many people have... even priests and nuns".

"The devil enters from there," the Pope told priests and seminarians.

Something else also enters from there…

I am currently reading a theologian’s review of Pope JP2’s The Theology of the Body (with additional input from the last 2 Popes). I am absolutely amazed at how focused church leadership is on sex. So much emphasis on Christ’s opinion on marital sex and how it ties him to the church. I keep telling my husband, wow, who knew, and how do they know so much about sex and the mechanics of such? Actually, I don’t want to know. There are some parts of this summary that left me scratching my head. As an example, comparing Jesus suffering on the cross for his bride church, to the marriage bed. Evidently this book is used in pre-Cana classes in some regions.

Could you share the review? It sounds interesting.

I don't know what they're doing in their marriage beds but it must be kinky AF.

As a former Catholic, this doesn't surprise me at all. In other news, water makes things wet.
