Done! I owe Sara a long overdue phonecall and a lunch! ;)

[Desdemona]

Aye. Yes. Hear, hear.

Sorry for the delay. At least my keyboard is now working.

***You need a few votes. ***

I'd vote for dubs, presuming "tokens" can vote.

You must propose a ministry for yourself

I would like to apply for membership in the Ladies Auxilliary,and then I would like permission to set up a Hospitality Ministry for Unrepentent Sinners. It would be a kind of way station for them as they await a hearing before Torquenada and the Inquisitorial staff.I assure you that they will repent quickly or will have very loose tongues and innards when they meet the Inquisitors.

I have testimonials attesting to my culinary abilities. Thirty some years ago my husband was overheard commenting to another flight instructor:"I always invite all the unmarried student pilots over for one of sara's home cooked meals,ensures that they'll stay single for the training program,at least."

Firteen years later,one of my sons,in the course of our dinnertime conversation said:At least the girls we marry won't have to compete with mom's cooking".The other two laughed uproariously.

I use a lot of candles,vanilla,pumkin and spice to whet the appetite and then I serve it up.

I was going to answer you last night when I got a call from an old friend. It's almst eerie,she called to ask if I lived anywhere near St. Andrew's church. She prodeded to tell me that fr.F was speaking there and someone should attend to make sure it didn't get too crazy. She had just read an article in the Feb.26th Wanderer which mentioned his loopy loose catholicism.

I found the Wanderer article but it only reiterates what other posters have already said. Theologian at the Chicago Theological Union,featured speaker at Mahoney's catechetical conferences and a former Albany priest. Go prepared to hear the amchurchian theology from one of their waterboy's mouths.

Totus Tuus gives good advice on preparing to submit something cogent to our besieged new Bishop later. I am sure he is inundated right now,poor Bishop we must pray for him.

Meanwhile if you get the chance, question Fragomeni and ask him to clarify as many points as you can. The enemy,think of our governor Janet,speaks with a metered pace and cadence which is almost hypnotic. The more often you can interrupt the studied presentation,the more sucessful you will be in throwing them off their agenda. If you sprinkle your questions using their vocabulary i.e.respectfully,authentic,share,community,transformation,experential and worship space blah,blah,they will think you are one of their own which really confounds them and upsets their reasonable presentation.Good luck!!

Anxious to hear from you.

[PayNoAttentionManBehindCurtain]

Hey, it's been along time since we saw you on the Story. Mack and angelo where rehashing some of the old times and wondering about some of the guys that we haven't seen there in awhile. I got to wondering about you:). Glad to see you're still around.

Maybe I can start a trend.

You start that trend, my dear!

I wear hats from time to time, and when there is no hat I am wearing a lace mantilla. The wonderful thing is to see younger women starting to wear them -- without any conversation with me about it Older women just look at me and wonder, "Oh, did I miss the message? Are the veils back? Oh, its just her....and those young girls...well, I'm not that old.....where are my veils anyway...." You can sort of read the conversation running behind some of their eyes. But the reason we do this is because, very simply, we love Jesus, and we wish to greet so great a King by being dressed as respectfully as we can

God bless.

[AnAmericanMother]

I can't get away with a hat in the choir - it WOULD stick out - but I always have something in my hair in church, even if it's just a pair of hair sticks and a scrap of ribbon or lace. Some of the very stylish hats my grandmother wore weren't much more than that.

[Siobhan]

Yes, I know those kinds of hats! I have an old little hat that my husband teases me about saying that it was a yarmulke that went through some sort of garment district transmutation. But it is rich with happy memories, and when I look at it I am filled with happiness and when I put it on I am taken back in time for a little while.

Will do. St. Michael, hold my hand! :)

Thanks so much for your advice.

[NeoCaveman]

You must propose a Ministry for yourself, not already taken. Out of respect for our Token Prot (and the faint, faint, chance that he MAY be elected Pope) you cannot assume his title, nor BE's, nor may you join the Ladies' Auxiliary, (unless you are a lady, of course.)

Nope, I'm not a lady or a Prot.

I went to the Tridentine mass this morning (indult) so that and the fact that I think that Don Thomas Torquemada was misunderstood, should satisfy the orthodoxy requirements.

What kind of ministries are left? I could maintain the "inquiry" devices, or whatever else is needed to help the poor sinners.

[ninenot]

We have an engineer for all purposes--design, construction, maintenance (Arrogant Bustard.)

However, we do NOT have a Minister of Fact-Checking. Think of an elegant way to phrase that--in essence we need to be quite certain before we, ah, assist the accused in his/her auto-da-fe.

BlackElk will be quite busy without having to ascertain the validity of the charges, I think.

As to your Catholicism--you will be pleased, no doubt, to learn that our PRIME agenda is not to round up and dispatch the usual suspects. Rather, the principal activity of the TTGC is to pursue the Beatification of TomTorq.

It's long overdue.

Minister of Verification? Better yet "Minister of Substantiation"

Rather, the principal activity of the TTGC is to pursue the Beatification of TomTorq.

A worthy and long over due cause.

***Rather, the principal activity of the TTGC is to pursue the Beatification of TomTorq.***

I do have Erasmus of Rotterdam lined up ahead of Tommy the Torque for canonization but if the white smoke wafts my way, I could make your day.

Saint Torque could be the patron saint of missing limbs.

We need someone working on his application. What miracles can we use?
