Catholic wank - no Gibson, no gay marriage.
This gem is small, and rather old, but it's like a wank haiku - a short, restrained, elegant example of the species.

From time to time I nose about a forum for Christian (mainly Catholic) sf/fantasy writers. You get a lot of discussion of how great Tolkien is, and how awful Harry Potter is, but whatever. Most of the posters are pretty well-educated, and literate, and think things through.... although in their own particular paradigm, where the enlightenment is the "endarkenment" and so forth.

Sometimes, though, something really pushes their buttons.

Special points of interest include:

1. Referring to the Virgin Mary as though she were a close personal friend of the OP.
2. Construing a simple action that would appear totally innocuous to most of the modern world as a personal insult.
3. Praying 'at' people instead of 'with' them.
