It also looks like a "no-no" ceramic chalice.

"I thought it was a cheeseburger!"

Me too.
But then I remembered: it takes two hands to handle a Whopper.

All that's missing is the straw, and then it would look like she's holding up a cheeseburger and a milkshake. I suppose she's a priestess of the order of Ronald McDonald.

Seems every diocese has their share of liberal churches, most don't cross the line, Corpus Christi Church in Rochester NY, did.

Good Heavens... Is that a Whopper she's consecrating?
Seriously: Leavened bread, leaden challice.

(I'm trying to get used to moring mass daily. Once in a while, I find it really hard to get moving, but Fox News keeps reminding me, by showing those Burker King commercials.

Think which ones, for a moment, before you read on.

Ya ready?

Perfect!

Was that where Bill laid down his famous quote (previously used even more effectively in Fatherhood):

"I brought you into this world, and I'll take you out!"?

:^D

It's a sorrowful situation that 1500 souls were lost when the bishop could easily have stepped in, as soon as the priest had the nun take part in the transubstantiation. (Or even while the nun was still only in grasping distance on the altar!)

There was a Charlie Brown comic where Linus said "It does not matter what you believe as long as you are sincere."

I think these people have mistaken sincerity for doctrinal correctness.

May God enter their hearts and open their eyes before they are damned entirely.

That's what happens when you get your theology from St. Linus of the "Acts of the Peanuts."

Ee-yeah. Seriously, folks, what is wrong with your heirarchy and why was this nonsense permitted to go on so(literally)Goddamned long???

Didn't the ROC bulldoze a church where the "priest" preformed a "marriage" between two men a few years ago? If pope Benedict and the Patriarchs, guided by the Holy Spirit do find a way to, mend our fences, can we borrow the 'dozer?

For a minute there I thought this "priestess" was holding up a hamburger to be consecrated.

Hummm

"Certainly the Pope and the bishops have a very important role, but also primary in Catholic theology is the role of conscience and the role of speaking out for justice," says Ramerman. "And Catholics are told that if something goes against your conscience, you are, by your faith, required to follow your conscience. So the idea of Catholicism is much bigger than the Pope says this or that. Certainly if we look back in history, for 2000 years there are many Popes that you would not want to be known as having followed."

Involuntary ignorance, or willful ignorance?
