			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>Sister Margaret McBride of Phoenix, Arizona&#8217;s St. Joseph&#8217;s Hospital has been a hotly debated figure lately <a href="http://blogs.forbes.com/work-in-progress/2010/05/27/catholic-church-excommunicates-a-nun-who-approved-an-abortion/" target="_blank">after being excommunicated for allowing an abortion at the hospital</a>. In Catholicism, this is an open-and-shut case of <em>&#8220;SHE&#8217;S PURE EVIL AND GOING STRAIGHT TO HELL!&#8221;</em> but, as with most things involving the Church and morality, there&#8217;s a lot of hypocrisy behind the big talk and bumper-sticker buzzwords. The woman was a mother of four suffering from pulmonary hypertension, which would have killed her <em>and</em> the baby if she carried it to term. Explain to me who&#8217;s pro-life again?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>It&#8217;s nice to see <a href="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/europe/vaticancityandholysee/7532643/Pope-will-not-be-intimidated-by-petty-gossip-over-sex-abuse-scandals.html" target="_blank">these abuse cases finally getting some press</a>, considering most of this shit has been public knowledge for <em>years</em>, but it will be short-lived, I&#8217;m sure&#8230;</p>
<p><img src="http://www.muckmakers.com/images/defrocked31.jpg" alt="Defrocked: Any Given Palm Sunday" /></p>
<blockquote><p>In a clear indication that the Vatican continues to insist the stream of abuse revelations are part of a conspiracy the Pope said: &#8220;From God comes the courage not to be intimidated by petty gossip.&#8221;<br />
Although he did not directly mention the crisis that has seen claims of abuse from Ireland, Germany, Austria, Holland and Brazil the 82 year old Pontiff&#8217;s message was evidently clear.<br />
As he spoke, thousands of pilgrims who had gathered in a sunlit St Peter&#8217;s Square clapped and shouted &#8220;Viva il Papa&#8221; (Long Live The Pope). The scandals seemingly not to have had an impact on their faith. </p></blockquote>
<p>&#8230;and that&#8217;s why nothing will change.</p>
<p>By the way, a few people asked me for a closer look at the cereal box featured in our last comic, so I&#8217;ve since <a href="http://www.muckmakers.com/defrocked-early-riser/">edited the post</a> so that you can see the entire box, created by regular reader and my good friend, Mo. <a href="http://www.muckmakers.com/defrocked-early-riser/">Go check it out and laugh at the ridiculous amount of detail she put into that image</a>.</p>
