THIS IS SHOCKING! A MAN WEARING NO SHIRT, MIND YOU, ENTERS A CATHOLIC CHURCH!

 And he tries to burn it down! Maybe he doesn’t like its modern architecture? Maybe he’s possessed? Maybe he’s drunk? Maybe he is a criminal rioter? Maybe all of the above? The Church is Incarnation Catholic Church in the Diocese of St. Petersburg, Florida.

Oddly enough, Bishop Gregory Parkes, the brother of my new bishop, as of about 1:45 pm or so today, Bishop Stephen Parkes. And the taller Bishop Parkes is in Savannah right now and is a co-consecrator.

Our bishop, by the way, is only 6’4”!


A shirtless man broke into Incarnation Catholic Church in Town ‘N Country near Tampa on Friday night and poured flammable liquid onto three wooden pews before setting them on fire. The man then ran from the church, news outlets reported.

Best of luck to our new bishop. May his tenure in Savannah be holy and happy and productive and may he never see this blog.

I noticed the medieval miter in the top photo. Is that what Parks will be wearing? If so, nice touch.

Yes that is his miter. At 6’5” I think the shorter one (medieval) suits him best.

Burning down anything named “Town -n- Country” is laudable, if he spared the cathedral.

Sounds to me like arson which isn’t a joke. A lot of the anarchists don’t like churches. They are burning them down just like everything else.
