When piety is not enough: A chastening article on when orthodox Catholics divorce...which also proves, on the lighter side, that my attempt last year to pick up a girl based on her chausible preferences while shopping at Gamarelli's (buying presents for her clerical friends, of course) is not only counterintuitive but potentially dangerous.

To continue today's dysfunctional gender-relations theme, Don Juan Victorio, persisting in his quest to, as he puts it so prolixly, shamelessly impress "Catholic Fabulously Gorgeous and yet Totally Modest Babes" with his PODdity and get mentioned on the Shrine, has emailed me a picture of a traditionalist priest blessing a tractor. No mention of triple immersion here.
I am, of course, mentioning this for your own information and not to shamelessly impress Gorgeous and yet Totally Modest Ladies. Try to think of it as the principle of double effect.
