In case you missed it--

A little sarcasm here and there...

[Mershon]

OK, this is kind of funny. Except of course for Mediator Dei's condemnations of archeologism and of "leapfrogging organic development" to get to a more "pristine" era of the early Church.

With this understood, I can laugh at this a little bit.

[ninenot]

Glad to hear that you understand satire when you read it.

[TotusTuus]

This is too funny!

I actually thought about something like this a long while ago after discovering Catholic Trads here on FR. I never had the talent to do it.

Die-hard Vulgate Pope John VIII even allowed Cyril and Methodius to translate the liturgy for the Slavs into Old Church Slavonic!!

And he allowed them to do it for the Liturgies of St. John Chrysostom and St. Basil the Great (and Pre-Sanctified Gifts) to boot! I belong to a radical Church!

[AlbionGirl]

This,

Even the ecumaniacs at Assisi never did anything like this--put a false goddess’ name ON PAR with the Virgin Mary, Mother of God!!!!

and neotrad St. Jerome are my favorite parts.

[lightman]

Candidates must be able to prove Apostolic Succession directly from Popes Peter, Linus, Cletus or Clement. NOTE: Greek Catholic/ Greek Orthodox Rite priests NEED NOT APPLY!!! We have arbitrarily decided not to like you guys either.

Reminds me of the argument in the "Life of Brian" between the Peoples front of Judea and the Judean Peoples' Front.

Dear God, spare us the leaven of the Pharisees!

[Antoninus]

That was done by a Freeper, you know...

[sassbox]

hilarious! I loved the part about Gregory I possibly being a mason. He's my favorite pope BTW.

[Desdemona]

I shouldn't read this things before I've had a full cup of tea.

[ninenot]

Anyone we know???

[Dominick]

All Rites reserved.

ARGH! Get my cestus! Someone needs to be taught a lesson!

[HowlinglyMind-BendingAbsurdity]

Bttt

You modernists and liberal, A.D. Christ-worshippers make me sick! Mass? Greek? Latin? What's all that about?

I'm the founding and presently only member of the Order of Melchisidech. My order is devoted to offering sacrifice as it really should be offered and it is currently researching ancient biblical texts and ordinance maps of the Holy Land in order to locate the exact site where Melchisidech performed his holy rituals. It is there that we will pitch our tent.

The modern priesthood is infested with faggots as witnessed by the fondness for lace, gold vestments and incense. Real priests wear camel skins and coarse undergarments.

All that is now lacking for the real priesthood to be re-established is an appropriate sacrifice.

Any Freeper who has a sheep or a goat should email me.

[Dominick]

We need to grow out our hair, and start on the low carb grasshopper diet. We can occasionally kill a lion and eat honey from the bees that will make it their hive.

I have some camel-skin, but I would have to rip up a nice decorative ottoman.

I'll email back as soon as I find the jawbone of an ass, it isn't that hard to find...

[ninenot]

I'll email back as soon as I find the jawbone of an ass, it isn't that hard to find...

Well, for the "ass" part, you could begin in almost any Chancery office in the US.

However, Miss Manners requires that you NOT take direct action to acquire the jawbone...

[maryz]

We also have a reliable source from Italy who informs us that a recently excavated mosaic clearly depicts Pope Gregory kissing Vergil’s Aeneid!!!

Calm down -- it was probably the Eclogues (one of which gave Vergil the honorific of the "Pagan Prophet in the Middle Ages).

[Dominick]

Thats what happened to the Philstines, they read them a Chancery report on Stewardship, and they dropped like flies...

[maryz]

EVERY SINGLE BOOK of the New Testament was written in GREEK.

Do I smell cover-up? Rumor has it that Matthew's Gospel was originally written in Aramaic. Could the original have been deliberately suppressed???
