Yep, Lois. That's "diversity" for you. Not a single one. We'd be as likely to find a one-legged Aleutian gymnast among the Communitarian leadership quorums as find a priest willing to speak in defense of the kind of home and family that Jesus grew up in. "Diversity" means inclusion of everyone except the majority. Like Puerto Rico, they get to "belong," but they don't get to vote. The analogy is bad, though beause the proportional population of Puerto Rico and the U.S. is exactly reverse the situation in the CofC. In the CofC, it is a mere 50 or so people who get to vote -- sort of -- and 113,950 who don't get to vote. All the the 113,950 get to do is "consent" so that it technically won't be political rape. If they don't consent, then they are bad, divisive schismatics who don't know how to "lie back and enjoy it," as Clayton Williams opined of rape while running for governor in 1990.
