I found the model I want at Eureka.com, but I'll have to put my husband in charge of locating it. The kids all get in trouble when I try to spend more than 5 minutes doing anything :-).

That's cute ... he's pretending to be a bishop. Maybe he can hook up with this loon:

who's pretending to be a pope.

Especially talking on the phone, right? Even now (19 yo), the minute I get on the phone, she suddenly requires my undivided attention. I can only imagine what it must be like in your house!

[Tax-chick]

It's a disaster! Even if I go outside, they follow me, or hang around banging on the windows making IMMINENT DISASTER! gestures.

Please! This is a family forum ;-)

Did you hear about the Ukrainian immigrant couple named Family of the Year? The wife just gave birth to her 17th child. I wonder what type of vacuum she has.

I hope Bishop Jenky cracks down on these cranks and I don't doubt that he will.

In response to St. Anne's claim that his abbey maintains an independent status from local diocesan authority, the diocese agrees.

"Bishop Jenky has no authority or jurisdiction in any non-Catholic institution," officials said.

If he was Catholic, it would be different. He's not.

Since he calls himself OSB, it would be nice if the head of the order would sue asking this fellow to immediately cease and desist publicly claiming any sort of association with the Benedictines.

Why stop at Bishop when you can go whole Palmarian hog and declare yourself Antipope. Presenting Pope GregoryXVII of Seville....

[torqemada]

Yes...definitely eBay threads. You know, that's the "downside" to the New Covenant...God doesn't smite people anymore. This guy would make a lovely bonfire.

[torqemada]

When would this woman find time to vacuum?

[ArrogantBustard]

No way! That guy's a fraud. Here's the "True Catholic" Pope:

(Just ask him.)

[NYer]

Blue is definitely NOT his color! And those gloves ... too dated! As for the headgear, this poor imitation is more reminiscent of the old hair dryers at the beauty salons. His image needs some updating ... like the addition of ermine :-).

[Tax-chick]

With that many people in the house, I don't think there would be room for any dirt to hit the floor!

[sassbox]

don't be such a hater, popin' ain't easy

[LadyDoc]

I believe there are non Catholic Benedictines in the Anglican church...

Right you are, but that's not who he claims to be. It's a solid bet that his connection to the OSB is as tenuous as his connection to the Roman Catholic priesthood.

I'm new to this site, but am glad to see it. I am also relieved to see people are not believing Ryan. I am the daughter of one of his followers who created the website "holyrosaryabbey.org" to expose him after he told me I may never contact my mother again. His site is "holyrosaryabbey.com" and after he got wind of my site, proceeded to attempt to discredit me on his. I can honestly say I was not surprised by the venom he spewed, as no priest could display this much hate and anger. His attacks only provided creedence to what most of us already know, he is not a priest.
