Pope thanks virgins for 'total gift' to Christ
Consecrated virgins take vow of lifelong chastity in service of Church

Quote:

VATICAN CITY - Pope Benedict thanked consecrated women virgins gathering at the Vatican on Thursday for their "total gift" to Christ, praising a holy rite that he recognized was difficult for some non-Catholics to understand.

Full Story.

And to all you virgins: thank for nothing!

It's true, Christ loves the virgins! He and Muhammad have a lot in common.

Ugliest. Pope. Ever!

The Consecrated are not exactly nuns, do I have that right? So do they have to wear nun shoes and handbags?

How about "Pope thanks virgins for the only way permitted for Catholics to reduce the population overgrowth"? That one works for me.

Wait, no it doesn't. What a sad life - not even a nun, and unable to have a life of their own. Do they have the male equivalent of un-priest and virginal? (Of course they don't, they're too low on priests. Why don't they look to the WOMEN to be leaders for a change, hello. Stupid patriarchal....)

Has anyone made this gender bender movie? A young nun, sexually abused by priests, conspires with her family to pose as her brother, a dying seminarian who miraculously recovers. She is ordained and rises through the church hierarchy, repeatedly abusing some very confused altar boys along the way. Eventually, she is elevated to pope. Then she becomes pregnant by one of the altar boys. Hijinks ensue.
