Sometimes I Hate Being Catholic

New Testament Reasearch Ministries had this article linking to a piece in the Washington Times on the growth of evangelical churches in Iraq post the fall of Sadam. There is much in this article to make a faithful catholic cringe, but my personal most hated moment was when the Chaldean Catholic Patriarch, a Catholic Patriarch in full union with the Pope, declared that if a muslim came to him and asked to be baptised, he would turn him away and tell him to go on being a good muslim. So much for Christ's command to baptise all nations.

I'm told that the Eastern Rites of the Church permit their members to eat the flesh of creatures without spines during Advent. Anyone know a good recipie for stewed Patriarch?
