7 Quick Takes

1. 

Well, it's been a tiring week.Dealing with stupid cattiness can be draining. I also got to deal with a tax issue that consumed most of my day.  But thank you internet for this awesomeness! This is becoming my theme song for the next bit.

Early detection of cancer is becoming an issue in South Korea. Ignorance is bliss? Well, I can see that some cancers might be very slow moving and never impact a person's life. Sometimes the benefits do not outweigh the costs. From the story.

An epidemic of diagnosis is not good for anyone’s health. Resources are needlessly diverted; people are needlessly scared. But the biggest problem is that it begets an epidemic of treatment.

Oh please. The solution isn't married priests... it's loyalty to a vow.
Sure, I know that attractions happen between priests and women. Priests are human. The reality is that the priests make a vow, just like a man who gets married makes a vow. I seriously doubt that these women would be petitioning the Vatican to allow them to have extramarital relationships with anyone they pleased.

There's certainly room to discuss the possibility of allowing Roman rite priests to marry without the crass emotionalism. There is no denying that celibacy is a long tradition with incredibly strong theological roots.

Hahaha! Speaking of celibacy, thanks for the laugh, Babes in Babylon! Here's a list of the stereotypical chastity speakers that come though youth groups across the country.

She’s glamorous in an 80s kind of way, all big, blown out blonde hair and red skirt suit. She may or may not hold a beauty pageant title. She tells a tale of woe that would make the ancient mariner sit up straight and reach for the popcorn.

 It's good to have talks with youth about chastity, I just think it often backfires. The kids are often either scared of having sex ever, or premarital sex winds up sounding unintentionally glamorous.

I haven't forgotten about the review of Ceremony of Innocence I've just been overwhelmed.
