Some of (the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence) had actually been in seminary, and many were ex-Catholics. Satire and humor were the best weapons they had against the guns and hatred of those who called themselves Christian. The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence were on a mission to expiate stigmatic guilt and spread universal joy -- while pushing the buttons of the pious. They were true clowns and media marauders, straight out of the French Revolution. There was something magnificent and terrible about them, visually and symbolically.
-- Gilbert Baker, Rainbow Warrior, p. 71
