After some debate on the authenticity of Dolores Aguilar’s obit in the Vallejo Times-Herald, which if you recall was shockingly brutal, we got to the bottom of it all.
Turns out Aguilar’s obit is real – mighty real, according to an anonymous editorial spokesperson at VHT. In order to publish the damning obit, the editor staff did something unprecedented. “We demanded to see Aguilar’s death certificate brought in by a blood relative” before going ahead with the obit, our source tells us.
MEXICO CITY – A Catholic priest’s condemnation of miniskirts on an official church Web site is causing outrage among some Mexican women, who say the Roman Catholic Church is making it easier to justify sexual violence against women.
The Rev. Sergio G. Roman sounded the alarm against miniskirts in an online publication to prepare Catholics for a church family-values forum next year in Mexico City.
“When we show our body without prudence, without modesty, we are prostituting ourselves,” wrote Roman, a Mexico City priest.
Mexican newspaper columnists lampooned the article, and women’s rights advocates have assailed it.
Women dressed in miniskirts and low-cut shirts have rallied at the doors of Mexico City’s Cathedral during Sunday Mass, carrying signs that read: “Clothed and naked, I am the same.”
