West Virginia preacher Mark Randall “Mack” Wolford, who believed Christians should handle snakes to test their faith, died after a rattlesnake bit him over the weekend.
Wolford had turned 44 on Saturday. He had seen his father die of a snakebite when he was teenager.

Mark 16:17-18:“And these signs will follow those who believe: in My name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues; they will take up serpents; and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them; they will lay their hands on the sick, and they will recover.”
Poor bastard.
Cardinal Bernard Law, the former Archbishop of Boston, is leading the crackdown on U.S. nuns who are focusing too much on social justice issues and not enough on gay marriage and birth control. This is the same Bernard Law who had to RESIGN as Archbishop of Boston because he covered up the rape of children by moving priests to different parishes and refusing to disclose the names of priests responsible.
The Catholic Church sex scandal exploded first here in Boston, after allegations against priests here forced dioceses in other parts of the country to do some investigating. Bernard Law resigned in disgrace and as a result got a cushy job in Rome, where he is now pontificating on morality. I don’t know about you, but aside from murder I am having a difficult time thinking of anything less moral than assaulting a child. So here we have a man who spent a lot of time trying protect child rapists telling U.S. nuns that they’re spending too much time helping the poor and downtrodden.
Ladies and gentlemen, I give you the Catholic Church.
