I just heard that the National Council of Catholic Bishops is planning on issuing a pastoral letter on women scheduled for release in 1988. Anyone for asbestos gloves? It's time now to start cultivating your local bishop! aMAZon @ AT&T Bell Labs, Naperville, IL; ihnp4!ihuxf!features "Merry Christmas to all and to all a Good Night." -- aMAZon @ AT&T Bell Labs, Naperville, IL; ihnp4!ihuxf!features "Merry Christmas to all and to all a Good Night."

Yeah, and then the bishops will come out with some hare-brained argument that women deserve to be treated with dignity, and should be granted things like comparable pay for comparable worth.... And it's just like all that drivel about the church and capitalism, Y'know? I mean, what do the bishops know about THAT? They just spend other people's money. And they're not even married. How can they possibly.... I'm sure we'll all be very interested to hear what the Heritage Foundation has to say about the upcoming letter. Most likely, we'll discover that they have a *real* woman on their board somewhere, and she'll issue the response. Not that she'll be up there in the leadership or anything. More like an assistant something. I mean hey-the bishops are against nuclear incineration, they have some grave reservations about the Capitalist system (something about G-d not liking the labour theory of value very much), so what can we expect? I'll bet that it's no mistake that all of those cardinals wear red. Fiat Lux......... Greg
