I remember the listings of what prayer would give you which indulgence in my prayer booklet back in grade school. When it was explained to me by the nun I had for religion class, I felt like I was having to pay twice for something. Nevertheless, I kept my thought to myself; why give the nuns any ammo?

Oh boy, that theologian from Notre Dame probably got himself put in the crosshairs by his comments. Locally a nun got kicked out of her work due to her beliefs in the ordination of women, and a religion teacher who wrote a letter to the editor in support of the nun got called on the carpet for it by her parish pastor.
