Very, very unexpected.
Why is this news?
Nope, nowhere in my book does that spell “devout Catholic”. But it does serve to attack the Catholic church so it's put in the story. Also, how many devout Catholics divorce at 93?
divorce at 93? Why bother at that point. Hard to hit a singles bar and score when shuffling around in a walker....
I am so upset I won’t sleep tonight.
Why did you and I read about it?
It’s crazy, isn’t it?
*Why is this news?*
Very VERY good question. You beat me to it.
>>Nope, nowhere in my book does that spell devout Catholic.<<
Ya got that right.
You can call yourself a Catholic just like you can call yourself an onion.
That doesn’t make you one.
These are the leftover hisses.
Mel and his dad are no nicer than I am. We all go to the fire without grace.
But any opportunity for the haters to hiss... they won't miss.

god hates divorce
He believes in the Pre-Vatican II Catholic Church, as does Mel. They didn’t like the changes to the English version of the Church and all the other changes that went with it, so they have ignored the “new” Church and have continued to observe the traditional Latin Mass and anything that is pre-Vatican II. BTW, how old is his wife?
I don't know. Is Free Republic morphing into a tabloid?
