BRIAR CREEK -- State police in Columbia County say they nabbed a very unlikely thief: a religious sister.

Troopers tracked the woman to her convent in Danville after she allegedly shoplifted from a store.

In 1974, Congress enacted the Employee Retirement Income Security Act, or “ERISA,” to assure employees of private employers that pension promises could be relied upon. Plans had to be adequately funded so that promises could be kept, accurate disclosures had to be made to employees regularly, vesting periods were shortened, pension insurance was created, and shenanigans of companies raiding pension plan funds for their own purposes were forbidden.

Except for employees of religious organizations. The God lobby won sweeping exemptions from these common sense rules. And their aged former employees are now paying a brutal price.

Pretty much a defining characteristic, I'd say.
