In a statement on Thursday, Cardinal Víctor Manuel Fernández, who heads the Holy See’s Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith, said the group from the Society of Saint Pius X (SSPX), founded in the Swiss village of Ecône in 1970, had “committed an act of a schismatic nature” which, under canon law, is punishable with automatic excommunication.
The Vatican went further than expected and said that all priests of the SSPX and all Catholics who “adhere formally” to the group were in schism and excommunicated. A schism is a term to indicate a severe, formal rupture within the church. You see what happened here? It's not about violating the (perceived) word of god - it's about violating the words/dictates of man as they interpret what they 'think' god would say or do.
All - every single fuckin' one of 'em - religions are man-made. Remember what King Henry did when the Pope said he couldn't have a divorce? The Church of England has an estimated worshipping community of about 1.02 million regular members, with roughly 580,000 attending physical Sunday services.
Hey - do NOT get me wrong here. I am not anti-religion in any way. Strong belief systems make people better - well, most people anyway. If you have a strong religious belief, I am truly happy for you and I'd be more than happy to have you as a friend. Individual beliefs are what us stronger as a nation, not weaker.
If you buy in to the ten comandments story, or any of the old testament parables like flooding the whole world but saving two of everything, or killing sacrificial lambs or other crazy old shit, take an aspirin and get back to me later...

For the first time since I moved from Jersey to Florida - going on 11 years now - this is the first time I can remember that it's going to be hotter there for the next few days than it is gonna be here. Here's the sad part. I've been making fun of the people of France and their lack of A/C for the last few days, right? Well, ours shit the bed yesterday. Little warm in the Jackson household, but we're used to it. We lived for ten years in the Caribbean without air conditioning. We're trained professionals with this shit. Juss' sayin' - hope the new A/C guy shows up this morning...

Ya see, here's where I get confused. When someone attacks someone just for being gay, doesn't the gay guy or gal want someone with a gun to come and save and protect them? That's why I don't really take any of this crazy shit seriously. I think this is from last weekend's Gay parade shit in Seattle, where dozens of old gay guys pranced around naked in front of a few thousand young children. Juss' sayin'...

Know somebody you need to get busy for a month or two? This is a real jigsaw puzzle. I guess it's not for the faint of heart or a skitzos. I'd imagine rollin' a shitload of spliffs before you get down to it might be a good idea. Click on the box and see that it really is legit.

Home seciruty video footage shows Andy Kerrigan ambling over to his pickup truck, blissfully unaware of the surprise waiting for him. As he opens the door, he is met by a bear which has been trapped inside. In blind panic, Kerrigan retreats backwards as the bear pokes its furry head out.
Kerrigan ventures round to the other side of the truck as the bear motions towards him, causing him to fall backwards. With both doors open, he grabs a long plank of wood to try and coax the animal out. After the cub finally exits the vehicle, the guy chases him around the truck, brying - but failin - to whack it with plank of wood.
This doorbell footage was captured on Clubhouse Drive in Steamboat Springs, Colorado. By some miracle, neither the man nor the bear were injured in the ordeal. The article failed to mention if it's his house or he was working there.
