Medieval is the new black

How refreshing to read that the pope has *canonised* a woman who refused cancer treatment that would have saved her life because it would have involved terminating her pregnancy.

What century are we living in?

She had the baby, then died. I'm sure her other children were just delighted.

I lapsed as a Catholic at the age of about 13, about the same time I became a vegetarian and a feminist. I lift my hat to my younger self. I like to think that in 20 years time I might feel the same about the decisions I am taking now, but maybe I am getting less cool as I get older.
