From the Roar of Cotton Mather to the Bleat of Mr. Whipple.

You can now officially round file that "tough new Vatican liturgy document":

The Catholic Herald reports that Vatican officials have "simplified the document and moderated some of the more controversial proscriptions."

"Moderated some of the more controversial proscriptions...." Something tells me this allows enough wiggle room to drive a supertanker through. Any takers?

Wouldn't want to keep those who dwell in the Archdiocese of Los Angeles from hearing an dance-accompanied version of "Mele Kalikimaka" during Christmastide, now, would we?
