Virgin Mary Statues Disappearing in MN
or stolen?
From Wave of Virgin Mary statue thefts hits central Minnesota:
"Joe Fautsch was mowing his lawn when he came around a corner and expected to see the Virgin Mary.
The Holy Mother wasn't there.
``I don't think she walked away by herself,'' Fautsch said. ``Who would take her?''
He found out last week that his Virgin Mary statue was one of four that have been stolen in this central Minnesota town within the past few weeks, Investigator Ben Theisen said. They can be worth up to $400, he said.
Fautsch's statue had stood on his lawn for about five years. He estimated the cost at $125."

From Catholics giving governor a pass on abortion? | The San Diego Union-Tribune:
"In January 2003, Sacramento Roman Catholic Bishop William Wiegand publicly chastised then-Gov. Gray Davis for supporting abortion rights while professing to be a Catholic.
Wiegand delivered a homily saying the Democrat and any other Catholic who 'thinks it is acceptable for a Catholic to be pro-abortion is in very great error' and 'puts his or her soul at risk.' He recommended that Davis refrain from taking Communion.
In recent months, a variety of conservative Catholic groups have launched a campaign against presumptive Democratic presidential nominee John Kerry, a Catholic who favors abortion rights. Some bishops have criticized Kerry and other Catholic politicians who support such rights, saying they should be denied Communion.
Yet the Sacramento bishop and other conservative Catholics have steered clear of publicly attacking Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, perhaps the nation's most prominent Republican Catholic who favors abortion rights. "

Gun-Wielding Fake Priests Kill Three
Dressed as Orthodox priests...
From Yahoo! News - Gun-Wielding Fake Priests Kill Three:
"Two gunmen dressed as priests killed three men and wounded two others in a gangland shootout in the Bulgarian capital, police said Friday.
Assassins wearing the dark robes of orthodox priests gunned down a man linked to organized crime and two other men at a shopping center cafe in an affluent Sofia suburb and then fled, a police spokesman said.
'It was a shootout between criminal drug gangs,' the spokesman said, adding the assailants were still at large.
Police said one of the dead men was a close ally of a leading organized crime figure in Sofia and that the two other men killed alongside him appeared to be his bodyguards. "
