Important Award Announcement

Even though it's early in the year, it seems painfully obvious that there will be an abundance of entries for the "Stupid Catholic Tricks" section of this blog. Embodying the philosophy "If life gives you lemons, make lemonade!" Fourth Pew, Center proudly announces the creation of:
(drum roll, please)

the Annual Bernard Cardinal Law Award!

The winner will be chosen each year from persons and events blogged in "Stupid Catholic Tricks." To qualify, one must perform acts of extraordinary dishonor to the Roman Catholic Church. Extra points are awarded for doing so in Latin.

The award itself will be a small New Testament with all the inconvenient passages -- such as "Judge not," "The greatest of these is love," and so forth -- deleted.
Accompanying this will be a small, cheaply printed card, commemorating the qualifying event.

Voting will take place in early January. Nominations are encouraged throughout the year. There will be no provisional ballots, exit polls, or legal wrangling. Ballot-box stuffing is encouraged. Decision of the judge (me) is final.
