Reading one of Gerald’s post this morning on Fr. Brennan<\/a> and his attempt to make the Catholic Church relevant through irreverence he had another one of his scary Sister Chittister morphings. I had heard Laura Ingraham on her show yesterday referring to Sr Chittister as Sister Michael Moore after seeing her appearance on Meet the Press. Beware of what you ask for<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Today Laura Ingraham was covering ABC’s Good Morning America treatment of Opus Dei with Diane Sawyer.<\/p>\n

"We are going to explore some of the provocative questions raised even by this building which is said to have so much money, this organization 3 billion dollars. What do they do with it and what about the practices we keep reading about. Inflicting pain on yourself in order to be close to Jesus."<\/p>\n

Laura said that she hoped Dan Brown had stock in ABC since they have been hawking the Da Vinci Code 24\/7 pretty much since the book came out. Covering the money angle is pretty silly making a big deal out of an international personal prelature of the Catholic Church having 3 Billion. This is only slightly more than twice of Oprah Winfrey’s worth and the same as George Lucas. Pretty strange how provocative questions are raised by a building. <\/p>\n

You don’t give out names of the members. Is Justice Scalia a member?<\/p>\n

Lot of prep work done ahead of time by Diane Sawyer there. Five seconds on Google would have shown this to be confirmed as untrue, though even if he was – so what? Though I found it funny that she says they don’t give out names and then asks for a name. Another strange part was Diane Sawyer saying that they didn’t even have a sign on the building years before. Especially since the building was only built in 2001.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
