#1 Perhaps her religion of Body Modification should open up their own hospital.

I'd be curious if St Mary's has issues with Satanic symbols or hiring Druids and such. It would seem that a Catholic Hospital would sort of expect to project an image compatible with the Catholic religion.

#2 Some of its adherents suspend themselves by hooks dug into their skin.

#4 This is so much BS. My business has a "no visible tatoos/extraordinary piercings" rule.

#5 The fact that the lawyers aren't exactly clamoring to take on the case tells you all you need to know.

#6 a savvy woman who admits she is "looking to make history"

Well, it looks like the Church of Body Modification has found it's Micael Newdow...

#7 I'm thinking of starting the 'Church of Imbibing of Alcoholic Bevervages'. Anyone else want to be in the congregation? Beer and pretzels for communion!

#8 I thought such already existed, under the name "The Church Of The First Miracle?"

#9 Doesn't a frontal lobotomy qualify as 'body modification'? Here's hoping that's one of their sacraments.
