I’m sorry, but I’m not even going to consider becoming a Priest in a denomination whose website doesn’t work. Also I am married.???

Of course, they'll be called into action from all over the globe by their crosses glowing - each cross glows with the individual's signature colour. In the middle of celebrating the mass, in prayer, serving at a drop-in shelter, doing a little Opus Dei...the call comes and they leap into action. They all shout, "Called Today!" and jump into their various space scooters, which are painted in their signature colour. The scooters, of course, can assemble into a giant robot that uses a laser-firing crosier and a power-swinging thurible as weapons. The cartoon stinks but the toys are selling like mad. Did I grow up in the 70s and 80's or what? So long as the devil shows up in the form of a giant lizard, with laser eyes and a rocket-launcher backpack, then these are the people to fight him.

I love the picture they've chosen for the top of the website, and also the second feature after the one you highlight about an award for Clifton Cathedral for excellence 'in the use of concrete and having sustained the test of time'!

THEN convert... BTW, anyone else see a shadowy figure behind the nun? Interesting they're targetting at 10yos... is that because they're trying to "grab" them before they discover an interest in the opposite sex? Dave,
