Monks

Dinner this evening at San Damiano monastery, across the street from Dolores Park. Good people there. Franciscans in Australia are worried about women and AIDS, the Roman cardinal having told them that if they caught it from their spouse, it was "their cross to bear."

All Marxists angry about having gay rights ignored as an issue. Lots of good stories about the Catholic workers, Dominicans and the homeless, Dan Beringer spilling his blood on nuclear weapons in Connecticut.
