Strange she should mention the funeral; I was there four days. The first day, as I headed for the rectory to cut through the choir room (to use the bathroom first), guess what the reporters outside were asking me about? Cardinal O’Connor? No. How I felt about Rudy cheating on his wife. Uneffingbelievable. Let’s just say the answer was memorable... my friends still laugh about it making the news.
I also know the Sisters of Life... they’ll get a kick out of mention.
Oh... and the sounds of children upset her? Poor pagan.
Some catholics still have children, some even raise them in the faith and spend family time, instead of being selfish... hence vocations. Trust me, you can hear Cardinal Egan without the huge monitors and speakers throughout the cathedral. Right... noisy babies, confession... yet she doesn’t know what vestments are (chartreuse shade of yarkmulke)?
She should have written about how rushed they went through the litany... I was incensed.
You know the 7 friars ordained are my friends right? I knew them when they inquired, or as I say, helped to change their spiritual diapers.
Yes... when the cardinal made the kneel comment, I thought “well get the newly ordained chairs to stand on”... sick right?
Yep, got all my first blessings and went to the first Mass yesterday.
I’ll comment at her blog when I get back. I’ll have the sisters do the same. Kidding about the sisters.
No, I didn't know that. Two months ago, a group of seminarians from Graymoor were up here in Albany to lobby the legislators. I enjoyed a wonderful conversation with one of them. He is from England, said he would soon be ordained and would return to England later this year. I believe his name was Augustine. Small world?
