    Friday chuckle: a case of "screamingly bad" Latin usage

    Alternately titled, "why reporters shouldn't fake a knowledge of languages they can't spell."

    Voice of America's Jeff Swicord drew an admittedly crummy assignment: reporting on the latest shenanigans put on by the "woman priest" crowd. But what should have been a routine serving of empty drivel went LOL funny when Swicord attributed to an Opus Dei priest the following comment on the maleness and the priesthood:

    "'The church teaches that he [the priest] does this in what is called insomnia nomini Christa, that he does this in the name and the person of Jesus,' says [Fr. Arne] Panula. Jesus was male."

    A priest acts "insomnia nomini Christa"? That is screamingly funny. It doesn't mean a thing, folks. The closest I can get is "lack of sleep to/for the name Christina".

    More hilarious goofs and funnier commentary continued at In The Light of the Law.
