I don't think this article gives the full story on the water lien issue in Greensboro. For one it doesn't mention that Greensboro is the only city in the state that puts a lien on a property for an unpaid water bill. A point the article does make is that landlords feel it's unfair to have a lien on their property for a renters unpaid bill.

The Vatican appears prepared to change its ground rules in order to convert some Anglicans who are ripe for the picking given that they aren't happy with the whole idea of gay clergy: "A newly created set of canon laws, known as an 'Apostolic Constitution,' will clear the way for entire congregations of Anglican faithful to join the Catholic Church. That represents a potentially serious threat to the already fragile world-wide communion of national Anglican churches, which has about 77 million members globally."

The full text of the 'Apostolic Constitution' isn't out yet, but some folks seem to think that they'll relax some of the requirements for priests to enable the (likely un-gay) Anglican priests to do their thing for the Catholics:

"The pope wants to make it easier to welcome these priests as Catholics," he said. "What I don't know is what will happen to future generations" of priests who might be ordained under the new system."
