Like that you share with us perhaps? <br /><br />How about actually addressing points we make with, you know, actually rebuttals rather than snarky ad hominems? <br /><br />1) show me where any of my responses were 'unkind'<br />2) show me where any of my responses show a lack of 'good will'. <br /><br />This is SO typical of folk who emote rather than think.<br /><br />It's "the tone" they don't like. See, if it's "the tone" then they don't need to proffer or defend an actual opinion either way. They can just posture as offended victims....all while dropping ad hominems at folk rather than engaging actual, meaningful "dialogue".<br /><br />But see, what about your "tone" with me, gob? Is being kind and of goodwill a one-way street? I owe you what, exactly that you don't owe me? I pay you the compliment of proposing actual arguments for my position. In reply I get snark.

The saint, finding only a sparse congregation in church, proceeds to the river bank and addresses his preaching to the fish, who turn up in great numbers, listen to him open-mouthed (as fishes do) and as soon as the sermon is over, revert to their old ways.

Prove it. <br /><br />I say Jesus Our Lord is no more and no less prissy than I.<br />You see, I know Jesus Christ pretty well gob, and last time I checked, Our Lord willed to be worshipped with dignity and decorum not for his sake but for ours. Not for his honor but for our humility and the awe and devotion this awe creates in the children.<br /><br />In none of the approved apparitions, in none of the saints, seers and mystics do we get an image of a hippy, iconoclastic, socialist gay Jesus. Not one. <br /><br />Not one approved Marian apparition said "ah gee, just put up a plain old shack". Not in Lourdes or Guadalupe or Pompei or Orupa or Fatima.... <br /><br />None of the great saints and mystics who had intimate encounters with the Risen Lord and angelic beings, concluded that what people needed was a watered down ritual or bland church.<br /><br />Jusabellumnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7846189835239594160.post-21109039421727551492015-10-13T13:43:53.539-04:002015-10-13T13:43:53.539-04:00Then, there are the southern, white, rural songs I...Then, there are the southern, white, rural songs I grew up with, like Ida Redd:<br /><br />"Daddy's makin' moonshine quick as he can.<br />Momma's in the bed with a hog-eyed man,<br />A hog-eyed man, a hog-eyed man,<br />Momma's in the bed with a hog-eyed man."<br /><br />Momma's in the whorehouse, daddy's in jail,<br />Preacher drinkin' 'shine from an old milk pail..." etc, etc.Clyde Catholicnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7846189835239594160.post-32232456796578652482015-10-13T13:08:45.470-04:002015-10-13T13:08:45.470-04:00Good news for all.

The Carolina Chocolate Drops are an all black band, currently on hiatus, that have revived the music playing it in the entertaining manner and dress of neveo string bands of the past. They are superbly talented and each are gracious and incredibly intelligent and sophisticated. The hillbilly version of this music is also surging and has similar white artists performing it. It speaks to the human condition which to the distress of some folks includes race, ethnic traits, gender traits, and moral successes and failures. That is the source of much of its appeal. <br /><br />What do you say to a banjo player in a three piece suit?

An old lady approaches a black man standing at a bus stop.<br /><br />'Do the downtown buses run all day?'<br />'Dooh dah, Dooh dah!'<br /><br />It's mildly funny. Yet the high priests of political correctness would get their knickers in a twist and demand that the perpetrators be locked up. The whole human condition, its racial and national stereotypes, its illogicality, its sheer cussedness, is redeemed by its ability to laugh at itself. We're all in this together. Hilaire Belloc, a proper Catholic, wanted laughter and good red wine - after God was worshipped in the liturgy in a fitting manner.

It was clearly a devout animal, since up until then I hadn't noticed it.<br /><br />In 2008 Cardinal Castrillon Hoyos visited London and celebrated a Pontifical High Mass at the Throne in Westminster Cathedral. The cathedral was packed, and among those standing at the back was a man with a small dog on a lead. At the Elevation the dog, hitherto silent, let out a bark. Some of those around glared their disapproval, but the following week a Catholic Herald journalist suggested that the dog was understandably expressing his joy at seeing Tradition restored.<br /><br />'You are indeed Holy, O Lord, and all you have created rightly gives you praise'. Yes, I know it's EP III, but it's derived from an ancient prayer.
