		<description><![CDATA[You know, I&#8217;ve never been a big fan of St. Paul myself. Guy was a real troublemaker, the Lenny Bruce (or Harlan Ellison, as a friend once pointed out) of the First Century. His zingy quotes may be still popular at weddings but nobody ever seriously reads his stuff anymore, because his rants about &#8220;judging&#8221; and whatnot are completely out of date, boring, and well-nigh incomprehensible. As well they should be, because for the most part, they&#8217;re little more than ancient fan feuds, the gnostic equivalent of &#8220;Could Spider-Man beat Superman?&#8221; So I&#8217;m arguing theology, but not over what is &#8230; <a class="more-link" href="http://www.renegadecatholic.com/blog/2012/05/paul-proves-church-fraud/">More...</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Spring has come, and therefore it&#8217;s time for the semi-annual update of my website that lists movies featuring conflicted clergy. Got over 300 programs by now, and this year I&#8217;ve mainly added updates to numerous features I&#8217;ve viewed or watched again, and a couple of exorcism epics, THE RITE and THE LAST EXORCISM. The big winner is in the historical dramas, with twin cable series about the BORGIAS. Having one is amazing enough, but two at the same time? Could it be the clergy crisis has actually opened some eyes? Only one new clergy abuse documentary, though, SEX IN A &#8230; <a class="more-link" href="http://www.renegadecatholic.com/blog/2012/04/fallen-priests-stooges/">More...</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Good Friday, April 17, 1992, twenty years ago today, was the day my life went to hell. Literally. Because that&#8217;s the day I first remembered that I had been abused as an altar boy by a priest. Sitting in the parochial church I grew up in for the dreary day&#8217;s services, I suddenly flashed when one the servers made a mistake. I sure hope he doesn&#8217;t take him upstairs, I thought, and my whole world suddenly flipped like I&#8217;d hit an iceberg. Just how topsy-turvy it truly was I wouldn&#8217;t realize for years, but there was the turning point.

Yes, you read it right, dear friends. According to the revealed Word of God, immediately after Jesus was arrested, the Romans briefly caught but could not hold some young dude wearing only a bedsheet.

		<description><![CDATA[UPDATE: While Showtime&#8217;s THE BORGIAS has the first episode of Season 2 free online for the viewing before the season premiere on April 8 here, it seems that the Lionsgate European BORGIA: Faith and Fear DVD set is missing anywhere from between 2-4 episodes, as reviews at Amazon show. So A+ to Showtime, and a solid F to Lionsgate. Rather ruined my evening, it did, and I can no longer recommend the DVD set of BORGIA: Faith and Fear until they fix the problem. Well, here we are again!

		<description><![CDATA[Hard to believe but it&#8217;s been three years since I published Sons of Perdition. Now, in this revised Kindle edition, the story has been brought up to date, the Timeline from the original paper edition added and revised, and new research detailing how the sacrament of Confession can be used by the Church to gather information included. Since first publication, though the crisis seems all over but for the crying here, it&#8217;s actually taken force across the world. Nothing has really changed in the way the Vatican or the bishops behave, but that&#8217;s no surprise. Nor is the Church resurgent, &#8230; <a class="more-link" href="http://www.renegadecatholic.com/blog/2012/03/sons-perdition-updated-version-kindle/">More...</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Perhaps the stench of the cover-up has become too much for Pope Benedict, or maybe it&#8217;s just the tourists. But the Holy Father, who has recently lectured the world on greed, has commissioned his own perfume. No vanity here! What I want to know, is when does it go on sale? I&#8217;m sure I could never afford a single dram, but wouldn&#8217;t smelling like the Holy Father be like a plenary indulgence to the devout? The article says there it contains &#8220;hints of lime tree, verbena and grass&#8221; but the prestigious perfumer Silvana Casoli cited a &#8220;pact of secrecy&#8221; with her &#8230; <a class="more-link" href="http://www.renegadecatholic.com/blog/2012/03/hiding-papal-stench/">More...</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s finally happened. The crisis in the Catholic Church goes from bad to worse: from covering-up abuses, the bishops have now made contraception their crusade. That however, is not news. What is news, is that finally someone&#8217;s standing up to them. The Freedom from Religion Foundation, a group of liberals, freethinkers, and atheists have taken out a full-page ad in the New York Times. It asks people to consider leaving the Catholic Church. And I say, God bless them! And it&#8217;s about freaking time! And it is, as far as I know, totally unprecedented.

		<description><![CDATA[Poor Pope Benedict XVI, he gets no respect. Having risen from liberal theologian to conservative head of the Inquisition with the help of his predecessor and then managing to get himself elected, Ratzinger seems to have decided to rest on his laurels. Unfortunately, they seem to have turned into a crown of thorns. And so, dead John Paul II gets the glory, possibly even sainthood, while Benny is stuck with the blame for it all going sour. Today he named a batch of new cardinals. It&#8217;s always a grand affair, but this time, all eyes were on Benedict, who, they &#8230; <a class="more-link" href="http://www.renegadecatholic.com/blog/2012/02/papal-exorcism-smackdown/">More...</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[NPR reported this weekend about Rene LeBouvier, an elderly Frenchman (71) who wants to leave the Catholic Church by having his baptism nullified. A noble effort in which he is far from alone: apparently over a thousand of his countrymen ask every year for the same thing, and twice that number want out in neighboring Belgium. The reasons the article cites are: exposure to free thought, the pedophile scandals, and the pope&#8217;s stand against condoms to prevent AIDS, which LeBouvier called &#8220;criminal&#8221;. So he demanded to be struck from the parish register, and was told by the priest, &#8220;No can &#8230; <a class="more-link" href="http://www.renegadecatholic.com/blog/2012/01/de-baptism/">More...</a>]]></description>
