Mahony Fest 2006
More than a passing resemblance there (that's a shot from the opening of the Olympics in Berlin in 1936).
Seeing that crowd reminds me of the confrontation I had with a priest here...he told me that there were "lots of people" who had no objections to the things I was complaining about, as though that were a valid argument.
It nauseates me to see how many people think they are Catholic and yet have no problem making the Satanic, Nazi Heil salute during Mass.
In this diocese, they do it when sending the children off to...whatever they do instead of catechesis...as the laity "join" the priest in "blessing" the children.
Looks like it's an eighty-mile round trip to the nearest reverent Mass. Wish I could spend an hour talking with a faithful priest.
