It’s come down to this: a black day for Holy Church in France.

And no doubt coming here soon.

What’s next, finger prints on file and lie detector tests? I am not sure which is more disgraceful, the act itself or that French Church officials consider it necessary. Whatever, these actions seriously strip priests of their dignity and respect, relegating their status to that of low-level government clerks. For shame.

With thanks to Lorin Hart.
