I was confused by this apparent hypocrisy myself until I got used to it. In my pre-Spanish speaking days and many moons ago, as a wayward hippy, I was in a topless go-go joint in TJ where a gorgeous young thang was "walkin' the bar" wagging her bodacious ta-ta's in the faces of the patrons. Betwixt those chubby chi-chi's I spied a glint of gold, a golden cross, dangling from a golden chain. As her bulbous mammary meat met me at eye-level, I said ( en Ingles) "What's this?", somewhat shocked she would be wearing religious artifacts in a strip joint. ( This was way pre-Madonna, gents....) She looked at me, perplexed. Then, with her face, inches from mine, she arched an artfully-penciled eyebrow and said, in heavily accented English, "Yoo are NOT Cat-o-leek?" She was as astounded that I wasn't Catholic as I was that she would be wearin' the cross in her line of trabajo. Padre Diego, can you start issuing a modified cross to these "monjas de la noche". Take a cross, bend the horizontal arms upward at an appropriate angle, symmetrically on each side. Get the picture, Padre? Ayudalas, por favor... KRICO
