...George's 2002 best-selling historical novel Mary, Called Magdalene. And it has gained Magdalene a new following among Catholics who see in her a potent female role model and a possible argument against the all-male priesthood. The woman who three Gospels agree was the first witness to Christ's Resurrection is having her own kind of rebirth. Says Ellen Turner, who played host to an alternative celebration for the saint on her traditional feast day on July 22: "Mary [Magdalene] got worked over by the church, but she is still there for us. If we can bring...
...Hayman is now 32 and looking for property in Barcelona. In The Pines, a kind of love song between white separatists in the American South, the man who wrote the boozy anthem The Hymn for the Alcohol now proclaims: "I don't do drink or take no drugs/ But Christ she's hit the bottle/ Like there's no tomorrow."

Nevertheless, I am the immoral one. Did Christ want Churches to build multimillion-dollar facilities for pure vanity's sake or did he want us to respect and take care of one another? R.L.

...parent, I try to raise my children with a good sense of moral and legal values; to care and have respect for others. As a Christ follower, I don't believe the union of same-sex partners is right. I am not a gay basher or hater because I believe God wants us to care, help and encourage each other in our daily lives, but I do believe gay marriage is wrong. I base my response on Scripture.
