VATICAN CITY—Just hours after announcing his resignation from the papacy Monday, Pope Benedict XVI confirmed that he had accepted a lucrative senior analyst position at a New York–based Catholic think tank, the Westchester Institute for Ethics and the Human Person. “My years at the Vatican have been tremendously rewarding, but the time has come for me to move on to new challenges, and after interviewing for a variety of different positions, the senior analyst job at the Westchester Institute seemed like the natural next step for my career,” said the 85-year-old Benedict, whose extensive résumé reportedly begins with the line “Bishop of Rome, Vicar of Jesus Christ, Successor of the Prince of Apostles, 2005-2013.” “With my experience, I believe I can bring a unique perspective to today’s most important policy debates, whether it’s opposing homosexual behavior or denouncing the use of contraception in AIDS-stricken nations. I look forward to getting started this March.” Benedict added that he plans to maintain a good relationship with his soon-to-be former employer, just in case any worthwhile positions open up in the future.

actually so-called 'liberation theology' is heresy and worldliness.
actually a good friend of mine was this close to going off to jesuit boot camp a year or two ago but then he was like, well, i agree with everything you guys are saying, this is great, except, well, the god thing is kind of weird. i should go now bye

agnus_dei, ilmdge, getfiscal.... hmm.... not sure who else.
I just remembered there was a catholic lady here called eggplants that seemed to know a lot. I think she maybe was involved in the Catholic Worker Movement (???_) iirc..
