Pope thanks virgins for 'total gift' to Christ - Page 2

One of the highlights of my college days was scoring with a "consecrated virgin" - thank you Robert Mondavi (ok, it was probably Boone's Farm or Thunderbird, but firewater was involved)

Yes they do. Monks need not be ordained and many (most?) are not.

One Nun makes sure the other Nun don't get none.

True story:

An uncle of mine was in a horrible car accident (he was in Indiana and my mom and grandmother immediately flew out because they weren't sure he'd make it). When he eventually woke up and came out from under sedation the very first words he said was telling that joke the nun/nurse at his bedside (for some reason he ended up in a Catholic hospital).

"Why do nuns always walk in pairs?..."

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....)

These women made a choice- so tell me something- why is it we only honor and respect their choices when it agrees with what we would choose?

Who are you, or me, or anyone else- to decree their life is "sad" and imply they only live that way due to some over-bearing male domination?

Isn't that a tad arrogant and hypocritical?

Unless one is the Austrian girl chained up in the dungeon, one is making choices. The question is whether the choice is a healthy one or an extreme one that appears to be the product of some coercion.

I will happily criticize both ends of the spectrum. I don't respect and honor the choices these virgins make, and I don't respect and honor the choices made by drunken coeds pretending to be porn lesbians for Girls Gone Wild and the like.

I do!

And for the record, they are not lesbians, they are all "experimenting" and/or "bi-curious", which is just fine by me.
