hey good post.
I gotta admit, you must be protestant because as a catholic our masses are kind of boring compared to protestant ones I’ve been to.
actually with the lack of priests many churches import foreigners.
Last time I went to church in the little town north of here, I think the priest was Cambodian. I couldn’t understand a friggin word he said.
We have a priest from India.
And you’re right....
Catholic masses are boring and this past Christmas season I went to a Baptist Christmas program and Lord it was lovely.
This small choir, about twelve people, sang Handel’s Messiah.
I’d complained about it to Father Tom, who I found out writes music and Lord we are also singing two of his songs at mass today.
I am writing a book about priests,,,,,heh.
No, I’m not calling it Thorn Birds II but heh....
....if you only knew.
Anyway, in the book I launch into a rant about what a stupid idea priesthood is and what was God thinking when he came up with that idea?
A man pledges to be chaste?
Men are NOT chaste....women aren’t either but they can handle it better than men.
Anyway, you got to read the book. It will be a best seller.
That was also about the time almost every choir director decided that they needed to be like James Taylor; feature guitars and tambourines, and make every hymn sound like a one-timer celebrity singing the national anthem for the first time.
