The media Lenten observance...

... of debunking Christianity has taken form for the year. Top Hollywood scienticians and filmmakers claim that they have found the tombs of Jesus, Mrs. Jesus, and their child. Our Lord's mother was also buried at the same location, but not His Father. As the only known living relative, His heavenly Father presumeably provided the tissue sample used for the genetic testing that helped prove this was not a goofy hoax, weird homage, or simple coincidence of names.

Hat tip to Gerald Augustinus and Jay Anderson for reporting this story, which for some reason is being ignored by most Catholic bloggers and most, but not all, of the "main-stream media".

Human-hide wallets and canibalized embryos

Was it a good idea for Nazis to try to make wallets and lamp shades out of the skin of killed prisoners? Ok, so killing people because of their ethnic background is against some people's ideas of traditional morality, but if they are going to die anyway, why should the bodies go to waste?

How about concentration-camp slavery? Sure, slavery is against some people's personal moral values, but if the prisoners are going to die anyway, why shouldn't society benefit by working them to death? At least some good would come out of a bad situation that way.

(Sorry, but these gruesome analogies do have a purpose).
