Anne Rice is shocked, shocked!

Rice's spiritual journey took her from faith, to doubt, to vampires, then to faith again. And now she has left the Roman Catholics, reports Michael Schaub:

Rice says the final straw was when she realized the lengths that the church would go to prevent same-sex marriage.

"I didn't anticipate at the beginning that the U.S. bishops were going to come out against same-sex marriage," she says. "That they were actually going to donate money to defeat the civil rights of homosexuals in the secular society."

Um, yes. The Catholic church opposing same-sex marriage. Who could possibly have seen that one coming? That's like quitting a fraternity because you weren't aware they were going to be drinking alcohol.

As usual, TBA has nothing to add to Schaub's analysis.
