Roman Catholic priests are (supposed to be) celibate. Anglican/Episcopalian priests are not. They can marry. I think 'Eastern Orthodox' priests can also. By assuming that a 'priest' must be a Roman Catholic priest you are being 'Romanocentric'.

Wow, I liked most of the movies listed here. I geuss I just have a bad taste in movies.

The only one I really have to agree with strongly is "The Postman" Which is sad, because it was based on such a good book. They cut out everything! Changed the whole story, and the ending (god aweful) They cut out the squire of sugarloaf mountain!!! He was a pivitol character! The problem is they took the main character and tried to make him something greater then he was. Arrgghhh! What's worse, they didn't even do a good job of making a completely different story, like with starship troopers, they just sort of meandered about doing nothing. And that ending, eck.

As for just about anything based on a true story: Men of Honor, Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Airplane!

Of course, I am probably the only person to utter the phrase, "Oh my god, that movie is so terrible! I love it!

Oh and another movie that SUCKED was "LOST IN SPACE" I mean it was oooooookay if you let it grow on you but paying to see it was such a waste.

Okay well the term Preist is restricted to catholics (cept for eastern orthodox) Other denominations refer to them usually as follows:

Baptists: Preacher
Others: Minister

Thus the good ol' joke "A preist, a rabbi and a minister walk into a bar." ("Preist= Catholic, Rabbi= Jewish, Minister=Christian.)

There yah go :-)

And even if he was an "orthodox" preist he shouldn't be nailing someone after knowing her for all of one hour

No, looks like the Anglicans do, indeed, call their clergy priests.

Also, though most Catholics are not aware, there are other non-protestant Christian churches, all of which predate the historical foundation of the Catholic church. That is, the adoption of Christianity as the State Religion of Rome.

These would be, among others, the Coptic Church, the Armenian Church, and the Jacobite Church. All of these have priests and bishops as well.

What about vicars? Where do they fit in?

As for Lost in Space... so many plot holes I can't even be bothered to explain them. In fact i think I need to watch it again just to remind myself how bad it is.

oh... my... god... they exported Lost in Space to other countries? It's a true wonder that we have -- erm, had -- any credibility left in the world even prior to the Shrub presidency.

Season one isn't so bad, but two and three are surreal in their awfulness. Have you seen 'The Great Vegetable Rebellion'???
