Theological news

St Theresa of Liseaux is on tour and arrived at Westminster
Cathedral in Victoria (London) on the 12th of this month.
(Cut and paste the link above to see a youtube film of her
arrival.)

Tony Blair has been spotted there - unluckily for him, by
Matthew Parris, who writes that this means hes a REAL catholic,
not a political opportunist (Pope Ratzo Nazi is backing him for
President of Europe, according to gossip)

Visiting the relics gets you a plenary indulgence, that is, all your
sins forgiven. Tonys off the hook for war crimes then, phew.
- used to have to pay for these things, what is Holy Mother
Church coming to...

St Theresa was one of those nice saints who was very much put
upon by life, the church and her convent. She had a vocation to
the priesthood, which she felt strongly, but then as now if you
dont have a penis you can't be a catholic priest. She died aged
24 - the age that men are ordained.

And now we see whats left of her being tarted about as if that
gives legitimacy to the church that did her in.

As Parris says, god help us all.
