text: Ah, when clarity reigned and ambiguity was a sin. In all seriousness, there is a growing Cult of Clarity in the Church that does long for the days of yore. In fact they insist we go there, leaving behind the evil and sinful modernity of Vatican II, altar girls, nuns on buses, contracepting couples, popes who don't judge, bishops who don't excommunicate, a Notre Dame that doesn't indoctrinate, laity thinking they have a voice, and a publication calling itself "Catholic" without an imprimatur.  
  
  Bring back the great homily: "The Twist, Gateway to Lust." Make scrupulosity a virtue again. License theologians. Make 8th grade girls stand in front of the classroom to make personal pledges of chastity. Ban Hans Kung and Gary Willls books from the church library. 
  
  CAEL--I'll bet you have some examples too. All 100% factual. If not believed.  
  
  "It's a grave sin to watch the Miss America pageant."
   "Peyton Place is a condemned book."
  "Catholics can't go to Woodstock, but they can go to Nam."
