Catholic Church in US readies blessing for ‘child in womb’

Hey, I have a better idea. Why not bless the father’s penis and the mother’s vagina so that when they have intercourse and pregnancy occurs, the sperm and egg will already have been blessed (through osmosis) and then all children will be blessed upon birth.

But wait, I have an even better idea. Isn’t it about time these Catholic imbeciles get a life and stop acting like children playing make-believe? I mean really folks, when is stupid, stupid enough? TGO

The fiercely pro-life Roman Catholic Church in the United States is finalizing a special Vatican-approved prayer dedicated to unborn children, its national association of bishops said Tuesday.

“Rite for the Blessing of a Child in the Womb” should be available in English and Spanish at Roman Catholic parishes from coast to coast in time for Mother’s Day on May 13.

“This new blessing gives thanks to God for the gift of life and imparts his blessing on the development child and his or her family,” spokesman Don Clemmer of the US Conference of Catholic Bishops told AFP by email on Tuesday.

He added: “As the blessing was requested by the US bishops and approved by the Vatican as a blessing for use in the Church in the United States, it can only be used in this country.”

The Church strongly opposes abortion and contraceptives, clashing most recently with the Barack Obama administration over whether birth control pills should be covered by health insurance plans at religious-affiliated institutions.

One in four Americans identify themselves as Catholic, according to the American Religious Identification Survey conducted by Trinity College in Hartford, Connecticut. Thirty-five percent of them are Hispanic, Church sources add.

    Actually, now that you mentioned it, my penis was blessed and even though it was one of those blessings that didn’t take, my tongue was blessed too, and boy, did that blessing work, oh did it work! -GhostRider Wisdom, that’s my story and I’m sticking to it!
