Teachers

We all know that only Catholic priests are molesters, and all of them do so.  Such conduct never happens in public schools.  And it’s all men, 100%.  They are the diseased gender; women are blameless.

Holy s**tholes, Buffalo Bob!  Stop the presses!  I guess we’ll never see these stories on the front page, above the fold, in every newspaper box across the country.  Oh, well; can’t let the truth get in the way of a perfectly honest lie.

Graves

It makes one wish the Allies would’ve let Rommel keep Libya.  I take that back; have Rommel turn Libya over to Himmler:

When the guy was on the ladder while they were hitting the cross, I was hoping the thing would give while he was up there, but no.  Boy, they were sure happy to find a Jewish grave; you can clearly hear the word Israeli at that point, though there was no Israel at the time.  Nothing like saying the mantra “God is Great!” while breaking headstones.

I’m sure to see the day when the same folk are kicking over the headstones of American GI’s at Normandy.  And if one of them sprains an ankle while doing so, our re-elected Kenyan will bow lowly and apologize for the tensile strength of the headstone that caused the injury.  If you think I’m being facetious, you aren’t paying attention to the speed-up of world events.

Homosexual Marriage

Og covered this topic very well here.  This is my follow-up.  Here’s more on the attacks of peaceful, loving homosexuals who have absolutely no interest in harming the Church.

In Ontario, a lesbian has began an online petition to get the publisher of a Catholic pamphlet about homosexuality to remove wording calling it disordered.  Wording that comes from the Catechism, which is the teaching of the Catholic Church on the matter.  Her kids go to a Catholic school that uses the pamphlet.  She sends her children to a Catholic school, then gets offended when they’re taught bona fide Catholic teaching.  Same as the slut who went to Georgetown for three years mainly to chop at the university for not providing for sex change surgery, in addition to abortion and contraceptives, in their health insurance plan.

This British Member of Parliament wants to ban churches that refuse to perform homosexual marriages from performing all marriages.

It will definitely go that way here.  After all, look at the metamorphosis of the Obamacare Act, which was not supposed to in any fund abortion (Henry Hyde amendment) but now wants everyone to pony up a symbolic dollar to show unanimous support for abortion.

Non serviam.

p.s.:  I seldom, if ever, swear on the blog, but since Bill Maher said that Limbaugh’s only fault in calling that woman a slut was because he has sponsors while he, Maher, can call Sarah Palin a c**t all day long because he is on cable.  So herewith, that woman who testified in a phony Congressional hearing is, on here, known as the slut.  Bill maher said it’s ok.  He gives me permission, and blesses my action in his own secular way.

Excommunication

They just don’t do it like they used to:

If they started with Pelosi, Biden, Kucinich, Visclosky, and kept going to Stupak, and cast the whole den of snakes out of the church and require public penance for readmission, maybe the rest would tighten up their acts and either a) do what they do and acknowledge they sometimes have to do stuff outside of their faith to go with the will of the secular nation, or b) make the commitment to applying their faith to their decisions.  But stop acting like this crap is all inline with Catholicism, and that this abomination is part of their Christian witness.

Elephant

Here’s a story of an elephant rampage.  It happened one year after a Hindu pogrom against Christians in the Indian state of Orissa.  The elephants came through the towns at the same time of day on the exact days that the pogroms happened, and proceeded to smash the equipment and homes of the Hindus, leaving property of Christians intact.  For no known reason (i.e. food shortage, habitat disturbance in their homeland), they traveled 300 km to go on this amazingly selective rampage.  Apparently, a smaller elephant cases the town on a scouting mission, then reports back to the larger ones, who come in and lay waste.

Strange things happen in this world.

Notre Dame

Here is where we get to air our dirty laundry in front of the secular nation.  At least the nation can get to see that Catholics as a whole don’t always go lock step with whatever the priests teach, and that sometimes, they recognize a rat no matter his rank, and we see that there are a lot of rats in Roman collars.  One is Father Jenkins.  That one says we have to be open to frank discussion and a free, open minded debate on issues.  Then he has an 80 year old priest who is doing nothing but carrying a cross in protest (I don’t see the protestors overturning cars or throwing newspaper boxes through Starbucks’ windows as the leftists like to do).  A priest who is stating official Church teaching is arrested at Notre Dame.

This American Church needs an enema.  It needs a good physic, a good flushing of all the bad juju that’s been building in the last few decades.  It needs a new Teresa of Avila.

The only difference between Fr. Jenkins and a whore is that a whore is pretty well within the knowledge of what she is.  And Notre Dame isn’t looking too good right about now.  Until it vomits this whore out of the system.  Even his own bishop knows he’s full of shit.

Nana Mouskouri

Nanc put a version of Amazing Grace up, and it was a good interpretation of the old classic.  In tribute, I’d like to post my favorite YouTube rendition, by the great Nana Mouskouri:

This woman has an incredible and productive career.  If you never heard of her, please go through YouTube for a sampling.  Don’t let the religious thing scare you off if it’s not your thing; she has a lot of good pop songs.  Then buy a CD, and play it on a real sound system.

Lent

Let me see, what to give up for Lent, which begins Wednesday.  Well, pretty much everything that involves spending money.  Thank you, That One, for making me a better Catholic!  By time you’re done with the economy, we’ll all be as poor as St. Francis of Assisi.

Interesting Moves in Kosovo

File this under “whoda thunk?”

Muslim Albanians converting to Christianity en masse, with no evident push or draw, except coming from the people themselves.

“We have been living a dual life. In our homes we were Catholics but in public we were good Muslims,” said Ismet Sopi. “We don’t call this converting. It is the continuity of the family’s belief.”

“Fifty or sixty percent of the population are linked emotionally with the Roman Catholic religion. This is because of feelings about what our ancestors believed,” said Muhamet Mala, a professor who teaches History of Religion at Pristina Public University.

Islam in the Balkans has been quite a bit different than that found in other countries. For a lot of people, it had just been an overlay, and not a true passion.

Beatified in 2003, Mother Theresa became a heroine to many Albanian worshippers. A new cathedral, still under construction at Pristina’s Mother Theresa Square, will be the tallest building in the capital and big enough to hold 2,000 churchgoers.

Now that would be an amazing sight to behold.  A cathedral in Kosovo.

“We don’t make appeals to anyone to convert. People call us,” said Don Shan Zefi, chancellor of the Church’s Kosovo diocese. “We are not talking about individuals any more. There are inhabitants from dozens of villages who have contacted us.”  Zefi said the process started decades ago, but added that today there are thousands of people who “want to become Roman Catholics again”.

Of course, someone has to complain:

The head of the Kosovo Islamic community, Mufti Naim Ternava, has opposed building a cathedral at the heart of Pristina and scoffs at new churches built across Kosovo.  “No human brain can understand how a church should be build in the middle of 13 Muslim villages,” he said.

Tough noogies; now shut up and deal with it.

The only problem I see with that is how this can inflame problems with the Orthodox.  The region has a long, sorry history of terrible war between Orthodox and Catholic Chirstians, two groups that are so close as to nearly be twins, except for cultural and hair-splitting legalistic reasons.  And considering the destruction that the Orthodox community endured in the last ten years, I wonder what outreach is being made to them.

Monk’s Advice

I only present this piece.  I have nothing to add to it.  To either add to it or take from it would diminish it:
