The latest from Boulder High School and Catholic upheaval in San Francisco

I just watched a clip from the OReilly Factor on the recent walkout by 50 highschool students regarding the "under God" in the pledge. Here's the clip:

Same principal, Bud Jenkins, that had that mandated sex and drug talk assembly last spring with CHILDREN. And this is supposed to give us the impression that the next generation is going to be okay? Um okay...Bud Jenkins is "cool," "hip", "with it," etc. etc. encouraging the kids and sending the message that, "if you don't like something, just walk out." "I'm ok, you're ok." Well he ended up apologizing for THAT stupid stunt from last spring.
Yeah, I'm not too impressed and I'm not too impressed with these kids for what they did. I'd be more impressed with the kids that actually stayed put and did the right thing and stayed in the classroom.
Publicity stunt, plain and simple, that's all this is.


Moving on to the big scandal in San Francisco at the Most Holy Redeemer Catholic Church:
The "Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence," an anti-Catholic group, apparently had two of its members present at Mass on 10/7/07 dressed in nun drag garb. These "gals" remind me of Mardi Gras drag queens on steroids. They're seriously "out there."
This lovely couple went forth and received Communion. This angered some parishioners and those in the hierarchy of the Catholic Church. San Francisco city officials have not officially commented on this as far as I am aware.
I saw the video and I didn't really see anything out of the ordinary other than two weirdly dressed people in line for Communion. I don't know anything about the situation so I can't really comment, however, I did read that this parish has allowed the SPI use of their facility for fund raising events and the prizes were items such as porn DVDs and sex toys. If this is true I do have a problem with that. That is most definitely crossing the line and the Catholic Church needs to step up to the plate and draw a serious line there. A Church is a family oriented atmosphere. You don't just go and rent out your facility for lewd things like this. Surely, with all the elaborate costumes the SPI has, I conclude that they would have SOME means and could afford a different venue to hold their weird parties.
