The US Conference of Catholic Bishops has come up with a list of exciting ideas<\/a> to perk up your love life:<\/p>\n

(1) Plan a picnic. If the weather is cold, spread a blanket on the living room floor. Romanticize the occasion by adding some wine, a rose, and mood music.<\/p>\n

(2) “Tech-free” night. Turn off your cell phones, computer, the TV, and the lights. See what’s left to do without electricity. Sing old songs, have a pillow fight, recount stories of how you met, plan for the future.<\/p>\n

(3) Be a tourist. Pretend you’re a tourist in your own town. Visit a museum, a scenic overlook, or a quaint neighborhood. Discover something new together!<\/p>\n

(4) Midnight bowling. It’s more than just bowling! Some places have special music, lighting and gimmicks. Even without these, it can be a lot of fun if you don’t take it too seriously.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

It goes on, but I might get too worked up if I display any more.<\/p>\n

The really exciting stuff is going on in the comfort of the cloisters<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Indian nun claims sex is rife within Catholic Church.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The book by the former nun reveals how as a young novice she was propositioned in the confession box by a priest who cited biblical references to “divine kisses”. Later she was cornered by a lesbian nun at a college where they were teaching. “She would come to my bed in the night and do lewd acts and I could not stop her,” she claims.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And apparently this is not only to be expected, but is perfectly normal:<\/p>\n

Dr Paul Thelekkat, a spokesman for the Syro-Malabar Catholic church said he had some sympathy for sister Jesme, and respected her freedom to express her views, but he believed her claims were trivial. “How far what she says is well-founded I can’t say, but the issues are not very serious. We’re living with human beings in a community and she should realise this is part of human life<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Now I know why so many Anglicans are converting to Rome.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
