In Fatwa News Today...

More old white men telling women what they should and should not do with their bodies and at the same time ostracizing an organization that has done nothing but good and remains a butress to repression worldwide. Something the catholic church, given it's ties to fascist and repressive regimes throughout history, could learn from.

The catholic church has been steering a course toward ultraconservatism in an effort to win back it's aging benefactor base after a series of scandals, legal improprieties and financial hanky-panky, it is their belief that by appealing to the most intolerant, sexist, fearfilled bigots it can find it may get the religious right vote in the next election. Sorry... that's Guilliani, nobody besides 600 or so fat old white men in frocks gets to vote on the next pontificator. As feudal autocracies go it's a doozy.

Now, if they could just get back to tending to their flock and trying to actually abide by the word of Christ, I might have some grudging respect for them, until that time, which will never come, they can suck my sceptre.
