I never cease to be impressed by the Catholic Church
I never cease to be impressed by the Catholic Church's inspirational ability to adapt to the circumstances of the modern age and embrace whatever common sense solution will enable more of their followers to survive to pass on the benevolant and inclusive themes of their faith. River

De Niro and Streep
