Ha! I call them “Newport Beach Housewives” since I used to see them all the time around Fashion Island. I’m just jealous since it’s been my life’s goal to be an overly-gymed Newport Beach Housewife. I’ve been failing miserably at it. I can’t tell if it’s because I’m not making myself available enough or if it’s…

i get the snark, but really, for women of faith, this is a huge deal to them. Right or wrong, they feel like they’ve sinned and need forgiveness. This is a good thing. This is one of those moments where we can step out of our bubble a little bit and understand the progress that this is for faithful Catholics.

I’m not even Catholic, and I find your post kind of offensive...The church is oppressive, but as condesending as the Pope’s announcement may sound to many of us, it IS a tiny step forward for the church institution.
