Better Off Dead

What does an organization do when it's been accused of negating the humanity of women and minorities?

It makes them saints, of course!

Pope Benedict XVI has added seven new dead folks to the latest list of saints declaring they were responsible for 'miracles.' No surprise that one of them is a woman AND a Native American -- thus killing two birds with one stone. Another is an American nun who helped lepers in Hawaii.

God forbid women should be given positions of responsibility in the Church while they're alive. No, let's wait till they're deceased and say they can do magic.

Congrats, ladies!
