Azriel Posted October 23, 2003 Posted October 23, 2003 Anybody heard anything about my Diocese? Which would be Lansing, Michigan? Our previous Bishop Kenneth Povish was adored, and our current Bishop seems to be of the same vein, Bishop Carl Mengeling. C'mon, Vianney, isn't your roomate from Lansing?

Our previous Bishop Kenneth Povish was adored, and our current Bishop seems to be of the same vein, Bishop Carl Mengeling. C'mon, Vianney, isn't your roomate from Lansing? My very Holy and Orthodox priest friend is a good friend of Bishop Mengeling . . . he has very high things to say about him. He says that his most precious gift to your diocese is that he is a man of deep prayer and compassion. A man who will imbue your diocese with a strong spirituality. I think those are high marks!!

I think those are high marks!! amesome! I have to say that your friend's remarks are great to hear. That is the impression I've received about him as well. Cool beans. How lucky am I? Great diocese, Great Bishop, Great Parish (Holy Rosary!) and Great Priest!
vianney Posted October 23, 2003 Posted October 23, 2003 Yes. My roomate is a seminarian for your diocese. I wont give you his name but if you looked hard enough you will find out who i am talking about. I think your diocese has a poster of all the seminairians and he is on it. Your diocese is in good hands, Bishop Mengeling is great. He is in line with the Church which is why he is sending seminarians to the most orthodox minor seminary in America. There is a diocese in Michigan though that is horrible. I cant remeber the name.

VeraMaria Posted October 23, 2003 Author Posted October 23, 2003 The Archdiocese of New Orleans is the most rockin' diocese in the United States! It's the only city in the US where there is a Catholic institution on almost every corner and where almost all restaurants have a lenten menu and where everyone in the city has ashes on their heads on Ash Wednesday. Also it's cool b/c if you use public transportation, almost everyone sitting in the street cars and buses uniformly make the sign of the cross when speeding past Catholic Churches. There are Three Catholic Universities and Notre Dame Seminary and a million Catholic schools and high schools to chose from. There are numerous traditional, life teen, charismatic, african american, and bilingual masses to chose from, and I think our city has the prettiest and biggest churches in the entire United States b/c our bishops haven't gotten too liberal yet . Our 200 yr old St. Louis Cathedral is the oldest and most amesome in the United States and we have the biggest Carnival celebration in the northern hemisphere. It's also one of the few cities where you can find a mass to go to on almost every hour from 8am to 9pm on Sundays. ''In a Catholic city (country) one will find good music, dancing and fine wine!" wish i could see that.... i love those examples! Here it's actually rare to see someone with ashes on their foreheads on ash wednesdays, even catholics don't cross themselves when they pass a catholic church (I'm an exception!!)....and we're supposed to have a huge catholic population... :(
VeraMaria Posted October 23, 2003 Author Posted October 23, 2003 ohh yeah... New Olreans is home to Bl. Fancis Seelos, was a home to St. Katherine Drexel, St. Francis Cabrini, and Servant of God Henriette Delille. Bl. Francis Seelos has a beautiful shrine at St. Mary's Assumption Church in New Orleans where he is buried. Our football team was even named the New Orleans SAINTS after the city's Catholic heritage. :D B)
VeraMaria Posted October 23, 2003 Author Posted October 23, 2003 Did they used to play football or do they just eat a lot????? :lol: :lol:
VeraMaria Posted October 23, 2003 Author Posted October 23, 2003 ok . . . I'll give you props and you last bishop was a holy holy man . . . too bad the seminary there in the 80's was called "Notre Flame" Anyway . . . I'll give New Orleans props, as soon as I get out and visit again . . . the last time i went I was not quite interested in 24 hour Adoration . .. . more the Girls Gone Wild thing . . . Oh Happy Grace! I feel your pain. When I was 11 i went to the Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe. I just wanted a soda and to go home, i was so bored, now i'd do ANYTHING to be able to go there!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
VeraMaria Posted October 23, 2003 Author Posted October 23, 2003 I start a thread, thinking i'll get like thre replies, then come back and there's like three pages!! :D
notbilln Posted October 24, 2003 Posted October 24, 2003 I guess this is mostly a glass half, full have empty kinda question. Beign a physics major in college I've always been a dualist. The galss is simultaneously half full, and half empty. Therefore, I would like to declare my dioceses the BEST, and THE WORST with no contradiction. Its important to keep in mind the things we are doing right ,but nto forget about the things we do wrong and could do better at. -_- :mellow:
Thomas Michael Posted October 24, 2003 Posted October 24, 2003 (edited) Glad to see Austin appearing in this thread. Austin's got some real nice churches, and the University Catholic Center by UT has Sunday Masses as late as 10:00 pm! (And all of them are packed with young, devout students and other young adults... a welcome sight to behold if you ask me.) I would love to move back to Austin... but I got two things working against me: 1) Housing is way expensive, and 2) my wife and her family side with the Aggies, who generally regard Austin as enemy territory. <_< Edited October 24, 2003 by Thomas Michael
