What I admire most about the church is the way it steadfastly refuses to live within its time and place. It took an Eastern awe of celibacy, plastered it on its clergy and forcibly imbued that awe into Western mores. At other times, it seems to wait, to see if the concerns of the populace are just fads and if, a century or two later, the concerns remain, makes the minimum possible change. It has a way of surviving sacred.
ABC now has a new sitcom, airing opposite Friends, written by an anonymous liberal Jesuit priest. The latest set of concerns are aired, with appropriate contrition about upsetting the order of things. It makes interesting viewing while you are waiting for Seinfeld to come on. That is, if you are fascinated by an institution that's survived twenty centuries, from being hounded in the Roman empire, to hounding in the Spanish empire -- if you are interested in the church that commissioned a probably-gay Michaelangelo to paint the Sistine chapel, has a reputation for pedophilic clergy, but will not ordain openly gay men. Only if you are interested, not otherwise, I recommend Nothing Sacred.
