“I don’t think they will handle ‘Lord, I am not worthy to have you come under my roof’ very well at all.”
Do you think that this twit doesn't even realise that these are the words of the Gospel? Most of the prayers of Holy Mass are taken from the Scriptures, so why should any Catholic have a problem with them?
He probably thinks that his flock is as Scripturally ignorant as he is.
"I always say it in Latin (Domine, non sum dignus, etc.)...."
Funny, so do I when I'm at a Catholic Mass, but then again, I had a misspent youth (45 years ago) as an altarboy with my feet planted in both the East and the West! :)
"“I don’t think they will handle ‘Lord, I am not worthy to have you come under my roof’ very well at all.”"
Sounds like that bishop was as miserable a Latin teacher as he apparently is a bishop. Ah, well, don't feel too bad. We've got our clowns in golden robes too and as +John Chrysostomos said, the floor of hell is paved with the skulls of bishops! My sainted great grandmother from the village in Greece always said we simple folk (lay and clerical) should stay as far away from hierarchs as possible!
But those are the direct words of Scripture spoken by the Centurion to Christ. And what did Christ say to him -- I have not seen such faith!!!!
Where is the faith of our bishops??
