It seems Pope Francis needs to brush up on his Tertullian!

It has been reported (in The ChristLast Media, I must note) that the current Pope does not like the phrase "lead us not into temptation...

"Let no freedom be allowed to novelty, because it is not fitting that any addition should be made to antiquity. Let not the clear faith and belief of our forefathers be fouled by any muddy admixture." -- Pope Sixtus III

So THAT'S what trumps tenure.

WGAL: University Fires Professor After Internet Stalking Arrest

CONWAY, Ark. -- Usually, once you get tenure as a university professor, you have it for life.

But that won't be the case with a professor at the University of Central Arkansas.

The school fired Troy Helm after his arrest on an Internet stalking charge.
Helm served as music librarian and assistant professor of music at the school.

He was arrested last week by North Little Rock police on charges of online stalking and criminal attempt to commit rape.

Authorities said he spent months communicating with a person he took for a 13-year-old girl, but who was actually a police officer.

An arrest report said Helm steered the conversation to a sexual nature while he believed he was talking to a youngster and suggested they meet.
A university official said while the school respects tenure, there are cases that are so bad that they require immediate firing and this is one of those cases.

First of all, the word is SEX, not GENDER. If you are ever tempted to use the word GENDER, don't. The word is SEX! SEX! SEX! SEX! For example: "My sex is male." is correct. "My gender is male." means nothing. Look it up. What kind of sick neo-Puritan nonsense is this? Idiot left-fascists, get your blood-soaked paws off the English language. Hence I am choosing "male" under protest.
