This<\/a> is a rather interesting game. In reaction to this idiotic article<\/a>, Mark Shea suggested a game where some event must have the logical conclusion that “the solution for much of this is painfully obvious: Ordain women, and drop the celibacy requirement.” If you read the comments section<\/a> on the writer’s blog, there are some rather interesting ones.<\/p>\n

I actually have a proposition for St. Blog people: all y’all have the St. Blog drinking game. Why not the “media is biased against Catholics” drinking game. You start with a pint of beer (if you’re German) or Guinness (if you’re Irish) or mead (if you’re Welsh) or hard pear cider (if you’re me) or Coke (if you’re allergic to alcohol) or water (if you’re Doug<\/a>). These are the rules:
\n-take 1 sip if there’s even a story about the Church in the news that day. (This is easy if you read the CT Weblog<\/a>.)
\n-take 1 sip if the story is positive
\n-take 2 sips if the story is negative
\n-take 2 sips if it involves the sexual abuse scandal
\n-take 3 sips if the words “church cover up” are involved
\n-take 3 sips if a bishop is asked to resign
\n-take 2 sips if the story is on female ordination
\n-take 2 sips if the person writing it isn’t even Catholic
\n-take 1 sip if you have a problem with a Lutheran creating a Catholic drinking game
\n-take 1 sip if you’d like to see me go through RCIA in the somewhat near future and abandon my apostate ways
\n-finish off your pint and chug another if this game would have been prevented by the ordination of women and the lifting of the celibacy requirement.<\/p>\n
