Who could ever have imagined!
Where’s Gallagher? I want him to take his mallet to the mime!
I am sure that it’s OK as long as it is not in Latin.
Holy mackeral. I had to laugh.
You SO need to see this.
Lol!!! Where do you find these graphics?!!
"A member of St. Nicholas Catholic Church portrays Jesus while riding a lawn mower during the parade."The picture above and its caption appeared in the local weekly, the Mystery Island Slack Tide, a newspaper that at times rises to sublime heights of comedy proofreading, so insane and so often that I haven't saved the mistakes over the years. This is typical of me, a person who cannot even remember simple jokes. Sometimes humor is best served by avoiding the obvious, however, and the Slack Tide's Hilarious Headlines would be best served up in, say, Proctor's Planet. But, proofreading isn't the entire point here, there are deeper matters afoot.
Point being, as the Big Blonde Babe often says, point being the picture. You just can't get something funnier than this picture on any number of levels. And look at the look on his face. When I first peered at him, I thought he might be slightly smiling behind the Insane Fake Beard, but now I think he's uncomfortable, unsure of himself, perhaps hovering between a peremptory wave to his wife and daughter and a horrible sense that time is passing at an incredibly slow rate. And this Jesus has on a gold bracelet or watch and, best of all, sunglasses. The fact that he's dragging a cart full of depressing Spring flowers makes it unseasonal for Christmas, but what the hell. It's Jesus and the holiday is, if nothing else, named for him....
It would be nice to have the Rockettes at your Church near Christmas though, wouldn’t it?
;-o)
Mahoney’s jealous.
Even more here: It's the Mass that Matters
Salvation has a thread up about liturgical abuse.

Of course these clowns would never ever admit they were doing anything wrong. Those pictures tell it all. It’s all about them.
NYer, what is the obligation of a Catholic if one is faced with stuff like this during Mass? Can you walk out? Do you sit it out and then take your objections up with Father after Mass? I know we must speak out, but is it permissible to just leave? Mr VITW has done just that, left and sat in the parking lot fuming. He has an exit strategy, he sits in the back on the aisle seat.
They're not clowns - they're mimes. They could admit it, but who would hear them?
If a mime falls in the forest, does it make a sound?
500 years ago, the Protestant Reformers were faced with the same choice. Considering the flack we've taken from Catholics for the choices they made, you'd better plan on sitting it out and keeping your yap shut, out of obedience to the Pope and the magisterium!
I think I'd run, not walk.
I made that one. Feel free to use it.
