The description of a miracle, worked by Christ and described in detail in the Scripture, as "waving hands" I found problematic, like I said, "in tone".
I understand that no real offense was meant, and I said so.
Yes, offense against the saints are offenses against Christ, and it is not coincidental that you, frau doctor, of all people, feel defensive about it.
So you do believe that criticism of Beethoven is blasphemy.
Interesting.
Don't you know that an affront against Mary is virtually identical with an affront against Christ Himself! I mean, he CAME FROM HER [blessed be her exalted motherishness].
And, that means, of course, that ALL her little head doilies are exalted as well. So, no coffee stains or it's to heel with you.
And don't forget her sashes . . . to tie . . . well, various things UP. So don't get your grubby hands close to her sashes.
Then there's her lovely little slippers. Remember, how beautiful are the feet of those who spread Good News. But in her case, her feet have to be exalted so we say they were beyond beautiful. Simply divine. DIVINELY BEAUTIFUL. Or is it BEAUTIFULLY DIVINE. I should look up that magicsterical encyclical. Have to get these things LITURGICALLY CORRECT, you know!
That means of course that all her toe nail clippings have to be kept in golden jars in a place of honor and prominence.
And therefore, before sitting down to eat, all must file past the golden jars of toenail clippings and clip a few in her honor. Or is it kiss a few in her honor. I forget.
And, then, of course the dust that touched her toes has become adorable, honorable, venerable thereby and must also be exalted. But we don't put that in golden jars. We have quartz crystal jars for that so the faithful can gaze upon the dust from the toenail clippings of the toes of the feet of the body of the
And so ends the sacrament of the toenail clippings.
May all the faithful now clip in unison.
Next thing you know, you're going to say criticism of the RCC is the same as criticizing GOD.
What exactly do you mean?
