The Post is right on top of the religious and life issues today -- and by religious I don' t mean only the conclave, though they're on top of that too.

  • George "not even religious" Jonas takes aim at people who believe "God Himself becomes irrelevant unless he can be used to rubber stamp human desires". He says if he were religious (instead of being Jewish in an "ascribed community" sense), he'd be more worried about his own relevance to God. Well, of course we're all relevant to God, but it's good to have a healthy fear that He may ultimately leave us to our own devices.
  • A woman in Quebec is finally told she doesn't have to pay a fine for using her city property rental for the sinister purposes of "a religious video, mass, hymns and a potluck lunch". Oh, they were also selling rosaries.
  • Breaking her contract is the only right thing to do: A surrogate mother flees from the (disabled) baby's parents after they tell her to abort their child. "They said I should try to be God-like and have mercy on the child and let her go. I told them that they had chosen me to carry and protect this child, and that was exactly what I was going to do. I told them it wasn’t their decision to play God."
