Such unions are awkward, certainly, but most survive through the messy art of compromise. The first line of negotiation is the local bishop, who has the power to interpret the directives. For example, bishops disagree about whether Ovral, an emergency contraceptive drug for rape victims, induces abortion. At St. Louise, staff members will not give Ovral directly to rape victims, but they will allow a separate emergency-response unit to administer the drug on the premises.

...take the form of shots at the church (to lessen the ennui, a churchgoer reads "Hustler" during a service Bethany attends), but never do they lead to God-bashing. You see, Smith doesn't satirize God, per se--he satirizes the inadequate human perception of God.

Israeli leaders are all too aware that anyone who wishes to provoke such a conflict need simply attack the Islamic holy sites on the Temple Mount...
Senior Sarah Bradberry sits on the floor, reading The Whipping Boy for her children's literature class. She scribbles answers to questions printed on purple paper, homework she should have done over the weekend. The class, she says, is easy. All the students do is interpret books written at third-grade levels. "I need the English credit to graduate," she says. Just down the hall, you see another kid, copying answers from one purple sheet to another...
