I like #2! I'm so glad I was not raised Catholic, but man, if I was, I would be rebelling the hell out of myself right now.
11. Making meatless Fridays include all forms of sausage.
The new "chimpanzees only" mass.
Re: #2: !!! (My old working-in-the-nightclub soul resonates.)
Re: #7: Aren't you like six versions behind on this guy's name?
Re: #9: You wish.
Are you a Catholic, Brando? I am an ex-Catholic, and even more "ex-" than the famed "ex-parrot," but I still tend to react to news of Vatican doings.
I think Ratzinger is without a clue.
The Latin thing? Maybe his strategy is to make the Catholic brand more clearly distinct from the rest of the Christian styles.
The problem is, these days, Latin seems difficult to distinguish from speaking in tongues. So I'm not sure how well his plan will work out.
The other explanation, I suppose, is that he sees the best way to combat Islam is to retreat to an earlier century than their fundamentalists want to.
Are you a Catholic, Brando?
Does the Pope wear a funny hat?
I am. Twelve years in Catholic school, and even though I have a lot of issues with the faith now, it defines my personality in so many ways. Especially the Catholic Guilt(tm).
Making meatless Fridays include all forms of sausage.
Chuckles, one of my favorite Catholic stories is that the pope declared the giant rodent called a Capybara a fish because they couldn't get the Venezuelans to stop eating it on Fridays during lent. It is the world's only piscine rodentia.
12) Selling J.K. Rowling the rights to the Bible.
I would love to go to the guitar hero mass. Lars could serve communion and they could have interpretive Dance Dance Revolution to the Lord's Prayer.
Brando was RAISED as a Catholic! A good Catholic, and REPUBLICAN boy, I might add!!!
Brando, dear... I don't know where I went wrong! It pains me every day to know that you've gone to the progressively dark side.
Guitar Hero is not your salvation, dear! There's only one savior... it's not too late!!!
I thought forming the Lutheran church was the biggest change made to Catholicism.
Sorry, had to get one in there for the ol' Luther!
As for #1, I think they've got something when they start giving away a "Passion of the Christ" toy with every super-sized host and wineshake.
"The Vatican is suggesting that salvation is possible without baptism. That is heresy," said Kenneth J. Wolfe, Washington columnist for the Remnant, a traditionalist Catholic newspaper.
NO ONE EXPECTS THE WASHINGTON INQUISITION!!!
Fish busting out the fish trivia!!! it's so meta he's blowing my mind!
I just don't want any capybara moving into my neighborhood. They aren't my kind of teleost.
