Talk about killing the buzz ... after a week of endless kudos and affection for the departed pope, the Catholic Church has to go and muck it up by allowing disgraced former Boston Archbishop, now Cardinal Bernard Law, to officiate at Monday' mass for John Paul II. ... From CNN: the protesters are coming. This will certainly rev up Andrew Sullivan, who is quickly trumping fellow Brit Christopher Hitchens as top Catholic-icon-squisher in the land (move over Mother Theresa, the big old pontiff's movin' in...) Some free, unsolicited advice to the mother church from a former member of the flock (I'm now a Protestant, and sorry, I've already read "The Da Vinci Code"): lock Bernie Law in a closet. He's your Tom DeLay...
Other stuff: Salon clobbers the right-wing bloggers over Martinez' supposedly "renegade aide," who admitted last week to writing the infamous Schiavo memo. Reracking my recent post on this subject here.
