Has he started the next Crusade without me!!??
All of a sudden, I find that my Latin Mass sayin' pastor has up and gone for two whole weeks. At least the word on the streets is that it's only two weeks... I'll bet it could be longer.
The smart money says he fomenting a Catholic Last Stand somewhere in Europe against the Saracen hordes. Where, oh where could he be? possibly at the caves of Covadonga, the fields of Tours, the Gates of Vienna, adrift somewhere in the Gulf of Lepanto?
I can see him now -- firing an M-60 from the hip à la Stallone... bad back and all. Our very own Cathbo, if you will. And yes, I said an M-60! That delightful AMERICAN objet d’guère where two or more consitute a symphony. None of that shoddy Russian garbage, if you please. I'll get Father to abandon his fascination with piece of crap Warsaw Pact weaponry yet!
But in the spirit of "winning hearts and minds", I know that the good Father is waging Spiritual Warfare first. I wouldn't be surprised if he were holed in someplace like this --

ReplyDeleteIf Samson could slay 10,000 philistines with the jawbone of an ass, just think of what a TLM sayin priest could accomplish with an AK!
Well, there's always the Cathedral this coming weekend, and our little country church the weekend after that ;)
ReplyDeleteI wonder what he's up to...? I've only met him once, I believe, but... don't we all just love the mental image of a priest charging around Europe... haha.
