#9  Doesn't a frontal lobotomy qualify as 'body modification'? Here's hoping that's one of their sacraments.

#8  I thought such already existed, under the name "The Church Of The First Miracle?"

#7  I'm thinking of starting the 'Church of Imbibing of Alcoholic Bevervages'. Anyone else want to be in the congregation? Beer and pretzels for communion!

#1  Perhaps her religion of Body Modification should open up their own hospital.

I'd be curious if St Mary's has issues with Satanic symbols or hiring Druids and such. It would seem that a Catholic Hospital would sort of expect to project an image compatible with the Catholic religion.
