How to tell the difference.

Sending death threats via email is stupid.

Sending death threats from your wife's work email account is Catholic.

And now you know how to tell the two apart!

Catholics still can't divorce, can they?

I googled "Catholic position on divorce" and found this:

"No." (http://www.catholic.com/thisrock/1997/9712frs.asp)

The catholic version of divorce is "nullification", and you have to lie through your teeth to get it. I wonder if that can be absolved through confessional?

I had a roommate whose mother had an annullment. I asked her if that meant her and her sisters were then born out of wedlock, and while she answered "Yes" she seemed less than impressed with my question.

Depends on how much the local Diocesan authorities like your family. Mom got a stress-free annulment back a million years ago when she cared what the Church thought.

Then she married Dad with a JoP because neither of them wanted to do the intellectual death-march of pre-Cana. Livin' in sin, woo!

Doesn't that basically require proving that the original marriage was flawed in some way? I.e. it doesn't END the marriage - it says the marriage never actually existed because X was wrong with the formalities

Correct on all counts. I was being flippant, of course. The effect is the same, in the end.

Yup, they accepted it. Evolution is God's tool for crafting the world. You know, the sensible religious approach.

I dunno, Blood Libel gives heliocentrism a run for the money in the race of FuckUpp.

The catholic position on evolution is still needlessly complex. They recognize the fact of evolution, but still have trouble with the theory of evolution. i.e. they believe that evolution happens, they recognize it as an act of nature, but they reject that the human soul as they believe it evolved, even if humans looked different eons ago.
