What peeves me about Pilla

Just a little vent before I go to bed… and yea, I’m probably PMSing here but anyway.

How do we count the problems in the diocese… Let me count the ways!!

1. We find out that the number of victims of the ephebophilic priest sex scandal in this diocese is going to be “shocking.”

2.We have a financial director that has been caught with his hand in the cookie jar and

3. Sharing the wealth with the cemetery director while goose poop and disrepair are the norm at least in my local cemetery.

AND

4. We have the Pot Growing Priest now facing felony charges.

Yet my bishop finds it necessary to add this ad hominem in his E-news letter directly at people who don’t necessarily find being herded up to communion and forced to stand for the whole rigmarole necessarily a spiritually uplifting experience.

“For those who see “communion” as something only between God and the individual, I don’t see much chance of a deepening appreciation of the Mass.”

Um… well excuse me but it is Jesus going into my mouth and into my body. That has to be a deeply personal experience. There’s just no other way around it.

“But for those who love God AND their neighbor as the Lord commands, and for those who recognize and reverence the Body of Christ on the altar and standing “around” the altar ”

and standing and standing, and standing. Do I love my neighbor more if my feet hurt?

as the Church has always taught, I have no doubt that the new gestures we are invited to use will make perfect and holy sense to them.

Translation being that if we don’t see the “directives” that way we must be as dumb as stones!!

No doubt it will take some time getting used to, but I think we can handle that.

yea… and then it will change… muttering off to bed
