Everyone has their panties in a bunch over two things this week...
1. Mutts and Moms isn't budging with Ellen DeGeneres' request to have a dog she adopted - and then couldn't keep because of issues with her cats - returned to the family to which she wound up giving the dog.
2. San Francisco Archbishop George Niederauer is under fire from Catholic leaders because two Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence received communion from him on October 7 at the Holy Redeemer Church in the city's Castro District. (For those of you not in-the-know, the Sisters mix street theater, drag-queen fabulousness, and community fundraising for charity. The San Francisco chapter has raised more than $1 million for such groups as the Breast Cancer Network, and numerous AIDS organizations. And that just scratches the surface of the good deeds.)
Ok, first...Mutts and Moms ought to change their name to Dogs and Bitches. There is no reason what-so-ever why they can't return that dog to the family. DeGeneres is a complete animal lover and she wouldn't have handed the dog over to them if she thought the dog was in any sort of danger. The only people getting hurt here are the kids from which the dog was taken. And as "moms," that should take precedent over the adoption agency's idiotic and antiquated post-adoption rules.
As for the Sisters...yeah, they're outrageous and they may be "blasphemous" in the eyes of some who have rather large sticks up their asses, but their hearts are as big as gold and everything they do (EVERYTHING) - and all the money they raise (ALL OF IT) - is for charity. Isn't that what christianity is all about?
As Dolly Parton once said, "Get off the cross, somebody needs the wood!"
