Safer-sex singer shot down


Even wearing rubber bracelets!
I owe my diminutive public a post on the seminary document, but for now, ponder this: The Jesuits--the Jesuits!--dropped a singer from a fundraising concert because she's promoted condoms to prevent the spread of AIDS. (Vatican clips condom campaigner from Christmas concert lineup - CNN.) Daniela Mercury, who bears an uncanny resemblance to Justin Guarini, will cede stage space to Paul Anka, who as anyone can see is A-OK with abortion, but hey. My favorite quote in this article? The guy who said "It's the Pope's loss." Such certainty!

Dag, she totally jacked my perm.

Condoms cannot prevent the spread of Aids, abstinence can.

Excellent observation about Paul Anka (notes a reader old enough to have recognized the connection without going to the lyrics!).

Here's a question people with varying perspectives should be able to discuss constructively: What level of deviance from official church teaching *does* justify or require exclusion from public events, sacraments, etc.?
