From a Reuters story of the same title on MSNBC.com:

Some are Catholics who see their church as stuck in the past. Others are believers who happen to be divorced, pregnant before marriage or gay. A few just can't find a priest when they need one.

Roman Catholics shunned by the official church are "renting" married priests in times of crisis and celebration.

They turn to http://www.rentapriest.com, a Web site with 2,500 Catholic priests in a national database known as "God's Yellow Pages."

Virtually all the priests in the database have left their official clerical ministries due to the Roman Catholic Church's mandatory celibacy rule, but they continue to conduct weddings, usually for a fee, while performing baptisms, last rites and funerals for free, in keeping with the practice of officially recognized priests.

This story is actually not as extreme as the headline would lead you to believe. The judge appears to have had a hair-trigger response to any "outburst", regardless of its content. From an AP article of the same title on abcnews.com:

Junior Stowers raised his hands and exclaimed, "Thank you, Jesus!" in court last month when he was acquitted by a jury of abusing his son.

But his joy was short-lived when Circuit Judge Patrick Border held him in contempt of court for the "outburst" and threw him in jail.

Stowers, 47, sat in the courtroom and a cellblock for about six hours until the judge granted him a hearing on the contempt charge and released him...

Court minutes said Border later dropped the charge because he realized Stowers' trial lawyer, Deputy Public Defender Carmel Kwock, did not have time to tell Stowers the judge had ordered both sides not to show emotion when the verdict was announced.

From a USA Today article of the same title by Haya El Nasser:

Suburban counties, once the bastion of white America, are becoming multiethnic tapestries, and white populations are inching up in some urban areas after big losses in the 1990s, according to new Census estimates out Friday.

"Suburbs and especially fast-growing outer suburbs are not just attracting whites anymore," says William Frey, demographer at the Brookings Institution, a think tank. "All minority groups are coming. They're a magnet for blacks as well as Hispanics and Asians."

The changes are dramatic in the South. About 74% of the growth in the U.S. black population happened there from 2000 to 2005. The region also generated about 71% of the national growth in whites, 42% of the Hispanic growth and 27% of the Asian growth.

Via This American Life episode 184 (from March 2001), from an article titled "Love Your Neighbor is suing one, instead" by Dawson Bell of The Detroit Free Press:

In a dispute that appears to pit the golden rule against the rule of lawyering, a tiny, Florida-based charity called Love Thy Neighbor is being sued for trademark infringement by a Detroit entrepreneur whose enterprise goes by the name Love Your Neighbor.

Catherine Sims and Love Your Neighbor claim that the charity has confused potential customers and resulted in "lost sales and profits." Love Your Neighbor sells jewelry and trinkets. Sims wants monetary damages from the charity, in addition to an end to the use of the phrase.

The Florida charity, which aids the homeless, is violating the law by identifying itself in a "confusingly similar" way, according to Sims lawyer Julie Greenberg of Birmingham.

Arnold Abbott, who founded Love Thy Neighbor in 1992 in memory of his deceased wife, said the lawsuit, filed in March in federal court in Detroit, is the latest in a string of actions taken against him by Sims since 1998.

In Sims' defense, US trademark law requires you to defend your trademark against any infringement or lose it...
