YOU'LL NEVER DREAM WHO IS GOING TO BE AT SAINT JOSPEH'S CHERRY BLOSSOM PINK, I MEAN LAETARE SUNDAY MASS AT 12:10 PM!
Yes the Grand Marshall of the parade later that afternoon. It is none other than:
Please note how sporty she is wearing her laetare rose!

And do you remember seeing her on an episode of "I love Lucy?"
CAN YOU SAY BABALU?

Is that your signed photo? LOL Have fun!
This is beginning to sound like one of those post Vat II, "new liturgy" Masses we generally lament on this blog. I wonder how many of the so-called Macon "dignitaries" will have enough sense to know they are not supposed to receive if they are not Cathoolic. I'll bet our looney-bin priestess will be there,too. I think I'll attend 5 pm...
Yes, pin, it is this sort of thing that compels me to drive 3 hours round-trip to Mass on many Sundays, although I'm not sure I can tomorrow due to gas prices...
It is quite an honor to have a celebrity at your parish.
Assuming YOU will be at that Mass too, then I'm certain the non-Catholics will be informed about not receiving.
Maybe their hearts will be touched in such a away to consider RCIA...there or elsewhere.
I can hear the news story now..."Jeannie becomes a Catholic and Evangelizes Hollywoood!!!"
Sock it too 'em in the homily Father...no holds barred please.

Examining her face reminds me of the following question that I've wondered about periodically:
What are the Church teachings regarding irreversible plastic surgery for soley the purpose of improving one's outward appearance, i.e. vanity reasons (e.g. facelifts, cheek implants, lip fillers, liposuction, and other procedures)??
No offense to Ms. Eden..her surgeon has done good work, she looks good and not too terribly overly arificial, IMHO. Others may have a different opinion of the results of her surgery(ies).
Examining her face in the photo simply got me wondering about the Church's view on this topic...

Your wit just kills me! Nice to have a little fun with your blog! Some followers need to really loosen up.
I think it's cool. Why is she coming the Macon? Does she live there? Has Fr Dawid ever seen an episode of 'I Dream of Jeanie'? It looks to be a lot of fun.

SL - I am not aware that the Church has a teaching on plastic surgery for vanity. You COULD draw the warnings against vanity to the conclusion that surgery is "questionable," but I don't think that's altogether valid.
Well, SL, Barbara Eden certainly won't be able to have any more plastic surgery...they are using all the heavy equipment up on the highway...
Please post photos--and video, if available--of the big day when you have some. I'm sure everyone would like to see them.
SL - The sort of surgery you describe is probably a sin against modesty, just as over use of make up would be sinful. These are sins of simulation - lying that takes the form of action.
Surgery for the purpose of removing unsightly scars or bodily defects is allowed and not sinful because it is modest to "fit in" and not draw untoward attention to oneself.
I highly recommend listening to Fr. Ripperger's talk on modesty at the below link, if you want more info:

Note to self: skip the ecumenical Masses and Liturgies in the future.
I have now been twice saddened (first was the Thanksgiving Evening Prayer Office)by the watering down so as to accomodate the non-Catholics in the audience.
To be charitable, I don't envy this blog's author being in the situation of trying to consider the sensibilites of a multi-faith audience at a Catholic Liturgy.
Yes, it comes across that the people in the pews are an audience. An audience whose sensibilites have been taken into consideration to such an extent that the opportunity to proudly pronounce the heart and soul of Catholicism was bungled.
Yet, a regular ol' Sunday Mass would have been more Catholic, in my most unworthy opinion.
Fancy choir singing can't make up for glad-handling from the pulpit.
The progressives were proud to hear teaching about Buddhism and Ghandi; and blending Cherry Blossom flowers so eloquently into a supposedly Catholic homily.
It was an occassion for sinful thoughts for me.
Best if I avoid that which leads me to sin.
(I only went because of a last minute change in plans so that I could make a sacrifice for someone else with the rest of my day).
If the goal was to use the Homily to extend hospitality to guests, then it was achieved quite well!
If the goal was to inspire hearts (both Catholic and non-Catholic hearts), then it was not achieved.
Just my opinion, nothing more.

I guess Jeannie decided to stay in her bottle, but she missed a beautiful Laetare Sunday Mass; luncheon was delicious! By the way, did you see her at the parade? Inquiring minds wanted to know after I told them Ms. Eden missed our Cherry Blossom Kick-off Mass. Maybe next time, Sandra Bullock! I am so excited about tomorrow, and I'm glad I was reminded by your comments to wear my PINK veil. @pinanv525, I know "looney-bin's" sister, and she is most distressed by her sister's illness. FYI.
Anon, Ah, Ghandi. You know, when Britain had India, they had roads and highways, schools and hospitals, an actual infrastructure, and were on their way to prosperity. Then, along came Ghandi. Poof! All gone...but everybody loves Ghandi and his pithy little comments like you might find in a fortune cookie. India..."sub" is certainly no idle prefix when applied to that continent...
Well, whoever cares about "looney bin" should keep her home. We used to have places for paranoid schizophrenics until the government decided that was bad and we needed to mainstream all these poor misunderstood people. I guess now they have the "right" to equally annoy everyone everywhere. She is an embarrasment to Catholics, annoying to others, and it is harmful to her dignity and humanity to allow her to behave this way. When I worked in psych, it was considered unprofessional and de-humanizing to support someone in their psychosis and delusions. Now, we have institutionalized supporting people's psychosis by turning them loose on society. Welcome to the monkey house....
What on earth is pinvan going on about? In the I Love Lucy video, It seems like the parts of Fred Mertz and Ricky Ricardo are being played by Fr. McDonald and Fr. Dawid (in that order)!
For Pin aimed at the Ghandi posts:
Take up the White Man's burden--
Send forth the best ye breed--
Go bind your sons to exile
To serve your captives' need;
To wait in heavy harness,
On fluttered folk and wild--
Your new-caught, sullen peoples,
Half-devil and half-child.
Take up the White Man's burden--
In patience to abide,
To veil the threat of terror
And check the show of pride;
By open speech and simple,
An hundred times made plain
To seek another's profit,
And work another's gain.
Take up the White Man's burden--
The savage wars of peace--
Fill full the mouth of Famine
And bid the sickness cease;
And when your goal is nearest
The end for others sought,
Watch sloth and heathen Folly
Bring all your hopes to nought.
Take up the White Man's burden--
No tawdry rule of kings,
But toil of serf and sweeper--
The tale of common things.
The ports ye shall not enter,
The roads ye shall not tread,
Go mark them with your living,
And mark them with your dead.
Take up the White Man's burden--
And reap his old reward:
The blame of those ye better,
The hate of those ye guard--
The cry of hosts ye humour
(Ah, slowly!) toward the light:--
"Why brought he us from bondage,
Our loved Egyptian night?"
Take up the White Man's burden--
Ye dare not stoop to less--
Nor call too loud on Freedom
To cloke your weariness;
By all ye cry or whisper,
By all ye leave or do,
The silent, sullen peoples
Shall weigh your gods and you.
Take up the White Man's burden--
Have done with childish days--
The lightly proferred laurel,
The easy, ungrudged praise.
Comes now, to search your manhood
Through all the thankless years
Cold, edged with dear-bought wisdom,
The judgment of your peers!
-- Kipling
Thanks, Templar. The trains ran on time for Mussolini, too--sometimes not the most important thing.
@pinanv525: "Am I my brother's keeper?" Genesis 4:9. Some people misinterpret this, as you probably know. These words, were spoken by Cain to Almighty God. I'm sure Cain was quite aware the jig was up. Our sister, "looney-bin," has never behaved rudely, in my experience with her. As my mom used to say, "you never know." Maybe one day you will be in need of compassion and charity. You never know. Every blessing.
Wordphan, It is rude for a female to appear at a Catholic Mass dressed as a Priest and calling herslf one. It is rude for her to stand outside after Mass and harangue people about wanting an audience with the Pope. It is rude for her "keepers," whoever they are, to allow this behavior, and it is insensitive on the part of the public and parishioners to allow her to persist in her delusions of grandeur and paranoid behavior.
It is also rude for you to imply that I am the one who is in the wrong for pointing these things out. You are yet another victim of PC thinking...crazy, anti-social, nuisance behavior is ok, but anyone who suggests that it is abnormal and should be disallowed is mean, insensitive and, well, just downright unChristian.
Now, before you start quoting Scripture again, she is no less a child of God in her psychosis than any of us. But, it is for the rest of us children of God with better reality testing to correct or limit her abnormal behavior. Oh, like you said, you never know...when you might be the one her voices tell her is the evil one....Every blessing.
