From the only reliable source of Catholic news on the net, Eye of the Tiber:
When questioned about this, Pope Francis refused to say whether the new rite would be approved but did note that the US bishops did promote a Democrat Rite and referenced the canonization funeral mass of Senator Kennedy as an example.
And with that, PopeWatch will be on Christmas hiatus until January 4, 2016.
Pope watch gone till January 4th and the UCONN women are off for the week. What shall I do but keep a watch for that Grinch character after he gets through running the House of representatives for the GOPe?
I’m fairly certain that Trump is not Catholic. I am uncertain about this Francis guy.
I lost it here and needed to sit down place my head between my legs and do slow, deep breaths in order to
prevent loss of consciousness due to most uncontrollable laughter:
“…….and Ecumenism And How To Bomb The Shit Out Of Other Rites.”
Hey, how about Trump for the Republican Pope? Then hold an election. Eye of the Tiber could do a lot with that notion.
It seems Karl has beaten me to the punch line. The comparison of the new Republican Rite to the already functioning Democratic Rite found in the last paragraph exposes the displacement of God and the preposturing of the Democrat as god, complete with songs of worship and praise.
I wonder if Mary Jo Kopechne attended.
I like to think I have a good sense of humor, but this about the political parties being “fake churches” just isn’t funny to me. re: Cardinal George +RIP ” A Tale of Two Churches”.
The concept has promise but this attempt by Eye of the Tiber flopped. Wasn’t funny. Missed the mark by a mile.
