Dude, I've lost so many rosaries I've lost track. Course I've broken more, as have my little girls who seem to think they are necklaces. I got me ten fingers so I know I'm good. Plus there's the big child size one hanging on my daughters' bedroom wall. Yeah, not too worried about it. Plus, the be all and end all of worship is not the rosary. I have almost all the psalms for evening prayer and night prayer memorized, so I got that going for me too. And since the rosary is simply a way to meditate on the life of Christ, I don't think it's going to throw me for too big a loop if I can't find one.
So why was this supposed to be an earth shattering event in my life?
What if your church burns to the ground???
Dude that so already happened, and I suppose should it happen again we would just do what we did last time, move into the parish hall.
Okay, so it didn't burn to the ground, but it was a four alarmer, and the fire department couldn't figure out how it wasn't completely lost. We know why. Once again, how is this supposed to be some earth shattering event in my life? It's so been there done that.
What if you lose your missal
I haven't had a missal in twenty years. Seriously, got one for my first communion, haven't had one since. Now, if I lost my children's missal, that would be awful. Keeps the girls entertained and away from books that they could damage.
all of your priests quit with no one to consecrate your wine and bread???
Well now, I don't know yet. On my list of things to plan for, this is right under what to do when aliens invade and they only speak French so when I figure that out, I'll move onto your proposed dilemma. Off the top of my head, I guess I would hunt down one of the eight guys I went to school with who are already ordained.
What if the pope dies and he's not replaced???
This is under both the alien concern and the no priests concern. So once again, I haven't really thought about it. Something tells me that with unbroken succession over the last two thousand years, I have better things to worry about. Plus, my Lord and Savior made it very clear that the gates of Hell will not prevail against His Church. So, because I trust Him, I don't worry about this.
Where's your religion then???
Dude, my beliefs are not a thing that can get lost, like the aforementioned rosary. It is knowing and loving the Truth.
ROTFLMAO. That is the funniest response I think I've seen on Freepers in a long time. Outstanding work. Much more humorous then mine.
