Busted Halo, Busted Haehl-o

The second in my series of issues with this Catholic Courier theme issue...

"Try campus ministry."
"It will be different from your parish back home, but give it a try," she said. "Once is not enough. You've got to give yourself a chance to get used to it. There will be enough that's familiar, and it can be a great anchor to your week."

HUH?! Why? Why should it be different? I mean...the rubrics are the same...and...the purpose of going to Mass is to prevent you from being homesick? And the way that it helps...is...not prayer...nothing to do with God...just...that it's an anchor to your week?

Of course, our CATHOLIC NEWSPAPER cites something from BustedHalo, a site with an entire section on sex and relationships, The Freshmen Survival Guide encourages you to be chaste for the first few weeks...so you don't hook up with a jerk...and this is a book we want to sell our teens? Wait a few weeks? Great. Somebody get Jason Evert on the line and tell him he's asking too much. Purity is only required for the first month of college!

The site also includes this article:

Apparently, the chain smoking kept Freud here from tormenting some poor bishop...

In any case, Nora Haehl often preaches at St Paul's in Webster, since apparently, she fails to understand that...well, she's not a priest. As many of my friends know her well, and I have spent some time with her, I can guarantee that this woman is never ever ever ever ever meeting (nor falsely catechizing) my kids. So, apparently, my children will never see the beautiful interior of St Paul's in Webster.
