5TH SUNDAY OF LENT
In one of the “Bloom county” cartoons by Berkeley Breathed, Opus the Penguin is confronted on the stairs of his boarding house by the well dressed Mr. Binkley. “on behalf of the voting majority of our boarding house residents,” Binkley says, “I have been asked to speak to you. Brother Opus, we all know that you have committed Penguin Lust.” Taking the penguin by the wing, Binkley continues, “But the Bible commands us to hate the sin and love the sinner…. And Opus, we all do love you!”
“Thank you.” Opus says. Then Mr. Binkley explains, “More precisely, we’d love for you to move out.”
