Not sure why I find this outrageous but former OK Governor Frank Keating likens a few US Catholic bishops to the Mafia, according to this article yesterday. I think that's a little unfair to the mob, dontchya think? Where's the Italian-American Society when you need them?

And now the the press from LA to the UK reports that Keating resigned under pressure.

Remind me sometime to tell you about my mom's efforts in the Women's Ordination Movement circa 1974 and my parent's involvement in one Northern Virginia parish's fight with the Vatican. It's a great story, I swear to God.
