Era Might Posted March 29, 2006 Share Posted March 29, 2006 (edited) LOL Go ahead. Although I did steal most of it from St. John Chrysostom, sans the "Clown" part. I don't think he'd mind though. Edited March 29, 2006 by Era Might Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MissScripture Posted March 29, 2006 Share Posted March 29, 2006 [quote name='thessalonian' date='Mar 29 2006, 07:33 AM']I don't see a problem myself. People in the circus need the mass. So the vestments are a bit wild. I went to a confirmation Mass in which Bishop Kinney presided on Sunday. I was sponsor for my nephew. He gave a beautiful, very orthodox homily on the sacrements and his whole demeanor was the most reverent I've seen in a long time. I was very impressed. It was a great service.

I sent him a letter regarding a priest who was preaching in favor of women priests in his diocese (I'm not in his diocese but my wife's grandma is). He sent me a very nice and positive letter back saying he would deal with the matter. His Homily on Sunday was one of the best I've heard in a long time on the Eucharist and other sacraments. Let's be a bit careful in judging a book by it's cover. Send him a respectful letter if you think he is out of line with this. He will listen I think. But be sure you have your ducks in a row. Blessings [/quote] That is good new to hear of Bishop Kinney. I am part of that diocese and I had problems with it the last few years. That is happy news! But, boy, I wasn't expecting to see his picture when I clicked on that link! I was like, "WHOA!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YMNolan Posted March 29, 2006 Share Posted March 29, 2006 Wow, I thought this was a joke at first! I would have never believed in a million years that the Church had documentation on circus performers! She covers all her ground, gotta love Her for it! I think that calls for the recitation of one of my favorite movie lines... "There's two things I fear in this world baby... nuclear war and caaaarnies!"
