“Hefner’s legacy is more complicated: He helped create a world in which white people by the millions were willing to vote for Barack Hussein Obama, and one in which all teenagers have not merely heard of anal intercourse but have seen it performed. By midgets. In Croatia. He dreamed of a nation set free from generations of Puritanical repression. But American freedom so often degenerates into slimy Burger King self-parody, covered with dubious condiments. Now Hugh Hefner is an 80-something dude in pajamas who until recently cohabited with identical twins named Karissa and Kristina.”

Seriously? A movie in which a Norse God is cast out of heaven for bringing war? Hello, Valhalla? For these people, heaven is war. Eesh.

Mel Gibson as Metaphor for What Ails America.
She does correctly (?) identify him as a sedevacantist. But also…
But even if he’s only a pseudo-Catholic, his fringe-y traditionalist views are very often lumped in with all that’s wrong with Catholicism. In a country that’s very publicly trying to figure out how to cope with an institution whose hierarchy seems so divorced from the modern world (most recently, equating the ordination of female priests as a crime on par with pedophilia), I dare say that Mel isn’t helping to give this religion a good name.
I wonder if it would make a difference if the Vatican had a savvy PR department. It frustrates me that some of these things (female ordination and its consequences) can only be explained to a doubting public if someone has a fairly good understanding of canon law.

Hipster Christians apparently fall into four categories:
Artistic Searchers
Frugal Collegians
Monied Yuppies
Bookish Intellectuals
Please consult this reference for further information. Hovering the mouse over the bookshelf gets you “Every Christian hipster owns or has read a book by the following authors: Wendell Berry, WALKER PERCY…”
I ask you two questions.
1. Are we going to stand for that? and
2. What’s on the shelf of a Hipster Catholic?
