HisChild Posted March 23, 2006 Posted March 23, 2006 I just cannot imagine an old lady streaking in a thong. Apparently you haven't moved beyond literal interpretation. "Apparently a visit to Grandma's wasn't the humdrum event for you that it was for me." You're treading on very slippery ground. Before you start insulting people's relatives, I'd stop and think if being the comedic relief you so relish is that important.
toledo_jesus Posted March 23, 2006 Posted March 23, 2006 has anyone else noticed that Phatmass gets very touchy each Lent? I've been here for three Lents now. Each year I notice an increase in nerve-plucking.

[right][snapback]918522[/snapback][/right] [/quote] Insulting? Did I call your poor old Nanna a gorbellied beef-witted clotpole? Nay! Now, I [i]can[/i] wildly speculate on what a trip to your MeeMaw's would look like.... -------------------- Toddling along, PCPA2Be opened the stained door at his Grandmother's house. "Moggy! I'm here!" he declared. "Well if it ain't that little wagtail of a gran'chile'" a rasping voice called out from the darkened interior. "You jest get choreself on in here and give your Mimi a kiss," Picking his way through the cigarette butts and empty gin bottles, PCPA2Be, or "Pippi" as he was wont to be called, entered the lair of his Granny. Giant overstuffed furniture crowded the small living room, like so many fat men squeezed in an elevator. Of course, most fat men wouldn't have been caught dead wearing that many doilies. Any leftover space was crammed with crayoned drawings done in an inexpert hand. "Smoochie smoochie" snuggled little Pippi. "Your whiskers tickle, Moggy!" "Haw, you always wuz one to flatter, Pippi. Help your Mimi to the kitchen so's she can have a bit o' breakfist," said his Granny with a wink. Her leather corset creaking like a schooner under heavy gales, Pippi helped his Granny reattach her pegleg and leverage herself up off of her favorite divan. "An' I made you some of those cookies you like so much," she added. "You left the crickets out of them this time, right? They were too crunchy. I liked the mealworms, though. They gave them a nutty flavor," Pippi replied. He'd become quite the little 'nature man' at Granny's house. He did occasionally wonder if the insects were necessary to build 'moral fibre' as she claimed, or if she just didn't feel like buying chocolate chips. "Just you wait and see!" she cackled. "Give Alphonse his morning mousie, and I'll add an extra cookie to your plate," Pippi entered the bathroom off of his Granny's kitchen. Snippets the goat eyed him madly as he sidled past on his way to the large clawfoot tub in the corner. Perhaps it wasn't in the best interest of the nanny's mental health to keep her in the same room as a 4 ft alligator, but his Moggy had always believed that 'what didn't kill you made you stronger.' No doubt Snippets could eat bullets by now. He gave her a wide berth. Opening the door of the cabinet, Pippi selected two young white mice and flipped them towards the sloshing tub. Pinwheeling wildly through the air, legs flailing, the mice squeaked their outrage. Thankfully, they didn't have to worry about the long term effects of high blood pressure. -------------------- How'm I doing so far? Sound familiar?

Cam42 Posted March 23, 2006 Author Posted March 23, 2006 [quote name='jezic' date='Mar 22 2006, 11:13 PM']what about a harpsichord? (sp) [right][snapback]918624[/snapback][/right] [/quote] No, because the strings are plucked and not bowed. The harpsichord would fall under the same reasoning of opposition as the guitar.
Cam42 Posted March 23, 2006 Author Posted March 23, 2006 [quote name='cmotherofpirl' date='Mar 22 2006, 01:22 PM']My son plays beautiful classical guitar. They have a wonderful meditative quality and would perfect after Communion. [right][snapback]918004[/snapback][/right] [/quote] I disagree....Mozart wrote some beautiful music, but not all of it is appropriate for Mass. Guitars are not appropriate for the Liturgy. This has been spoken to several times and has yet to be refuted or substantiated. Guitars, by common acception are secular in nature and therefore not acceptable at a Liturgical event.

Let's say everyone at Mass was mute or something and couldn't use their voice to sing. But all they had was a guitar. In that situation would it be allowable to have the guitar?
Cam42 Posted March 23, 2006 Author Posted March 23, 2006 [quote name='scardella' date='Mar 22 2006, 09:36 AM'] I'd argue that an acoustic guitar, at least, is commonly accepted as a liturgical instrument in this day and age. [right][snapback]917656[/snapback][/right] [/quote] Care to point to a solidified document which speaks to the guitar as being a commonly accepted liturgical instrutment? I have already spoken to, several times, the use of small stringed instruments which can be played with a bow. The guitar is not one of them. So, I'd like to see you make your argument.
