I'm waiting for the Catholic bashers and the "oh, God doesn't act that way" people to show up within hours.

Protest Blasphmous Mardi Gras in New Orleans

How about putting on some zydeco and sipping a Hurricane instead?

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

Yeah, I remember.

Oh please, these folks need to get a big dang grip!! Mardi Gras has ALWAYS been skating on the edge (and sometimes going over it) of bawdy. The French Quarter has had its homosexual bars and transvestites for at least 40 years, which is when I first realized they were there, and surely MUCH longer than that. Having Katrina wipe out the place will not remove sin from it, as long as there are human beings in the city.

That's one reason why there are so many different Mardi Gras parades in town. If families want to take their kids to one that is less rowdy, there are others in New Orleans itself, and in all the surrounding cities.

Must have missed the part where God got back into the revenge business. I seem to recall something about forgiveness though his Son, but it seems that others forget about it.

Look, let's remember Katrina. Let's remember the millions who were huddled in fear. Let's remember the total devastation of whole towns, not drowning rats, but good communities wiped off the map.

The hurricane was not your wrath upon New Orleans, nor was it God's. It was a devastating piece of mother nature, a natural aspect of life on God's most beautiful creation in the universe. And I think it's absolutely disgusting that you're playing the same game the MSM plays - that it's all about New Orleans. It's not. It hit a land area larger than the British Isles, of which New Orleans occupies three percent of.

The worst hurricane in U.S. history was in Galveston, Texas, in 1900. Between 8000 and 12,000 lives were lost.

*T'Heck were they doing in Galveston back in the day?

I have a better idea, use your time and money to support and build-up the local churches down there. IMO, TFP uses Katrina type scare tactics as opportunities for recuritment and fund-raisers.

The gentleman deserving of the name, Traditionalist, Romulus, might be able to give you some ideas

If he is too busy, try sending money to his Parish.

St. Pathrick's Church

724 Camp St.

New Orleans, Louisiana 70130

TEL (504) 525 - 4413

FAX (504) 568 -13224

St. Pat's hosts the Indult Mass and they have Eucharistic Adoration.

It is established Churches, like St. Patrick's, and their Masses, Sacraments, Misistries and exemplary layman like Romulus who will revivify N'Awlins whereas TFP has little to offer other than some politicking and fund-raising

....."Suppose ye that these Galileans were sinners above all the Galileans.......Or, those eighteen, upon whom the tower in Siloam fell, and slew them, think ye that they were sinners above all men that dwell in Jerusalem? I tell you, Nay: but except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish." Luke 13:1-5

"And should not I (the Lord) spare Nineveh, that great city,........?" Jonah 4:11

The Lord to Abraham: "I will not destroy it for ten's sake." Genesis 18:32 (must not have been ten there, though)

I become angry when thinking of immorality being promoted.
But, the Lord says through his word, "such were some of you". The Lord also says to those he has ordained, to be 'the light of the world', to: "Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven". Matt. 5:16
