Womyn? Is this a new gender, or perhaps a new species?

I suppose a little of both. We need to transcend the patriarchal stereotypes that have been handed down to us.

Brother Adam, which religious order do you belong to? I intend to report you to your superiors.

I'm not amused. You know, I was a prioress for 12 years. I have connections!

You amuse me. You don't think we have a big enough infrastructure? We've convinced most of the nations in the western hemisphere of the truth of our theology.

So you admit you are a demon? Reread what you just wrote there.

Fixed that for you. Typing is such a chore.

Yeah, but my order is newer than your order, we've thrown off the clutches of Rome altogether. Which means you are the traditionalist around here. Who do you think the theologians are going to side with?

I prefer "wymmyn." The further we go from oppressive traditional patriarchal rules of spelling, the more truly lyberaighted the fee-mail sehxxx will be.

A house divided against itself, Brother. We can't liberate the whole Church from Rome unless we stick together.

You and I should meet up for a walk through the prayer labyrinth and maybe an enneagram.

[Pope Benedict XVI]

Dear Joan,

We need to have a talk.

Only if I can bring my ouija board. We must remain open to where the spirits lead.

I agree, but I don't think Ouija boards are any more than child's play. I think some spirited liturgical dance in a celebration of East African animism may be the way to go.
