Judy Garland or Papa Benny XVI?
Celebrating all that is wonderfully awful in the world of Catholic Kitsch. *Si ponere flavitem potes, pone flavitem*

This Tickles Me.
I was just fooling around online looking for catholic statues when I discovered this picture.
I have no idea why.
But this has had me laughing for a good 5 minutes.
I'm way, way, way too easily amused. God forgive me.

I'M FINISHED
IT'S DONE!
MY BACHELOR DEGREE!
IS!
FINISHED!
IT'S DONE!
IT'S OVER!
NO MORE READING THEOLOGY BOOKS!
SERIOUSLY OMG I'M SO DONE WITH FORMAL THEOLOGY I JUST WANT TO GO TO MASS AND PRAY AND TELL MY BEADS AND DO THE STATIONS AND RECEIVE HOLY COMMUNION WITHOUT HAVING TO WRITE A DISCOURSE ON KARL BARTH'S THEORIES ABOUT THE INCARNATION AND ITS EFFECT ON THE ENVIRONMENT ETHOS OF POST MODERNITY OR SOME OTHER BS.
I'M JUST GOING TO STICK TO THERESE'S LITTLE WAY AND BE HAPPY ABOUT IT.
UGH!
IT'S DONE!
COME ON CATERPILLAR JESUS! LET'S GO HAVE A PARTY!
I know it'll take you a while, I can wait.

For baby Juan
Hola. This is a "baptism tuxedo". With Our Lady of Guadalupe embroidered on the back.
I think of all the terrifying Catholicisms, terrifying Mexican Catholicism is my favourite.

I'm not even going to comment
Ok, that was a lie.
WHY WAS THIS CREATED.
THIS WAS AN ALRIGHT STATUE UNTIL YOU PLASTERED THE LAST SUPPER ON HIS CLOTHING.
IS IT A CHRYSTAL BALL?
IS IT A MEMORY?
IS IT AN ED HARDY PRINT?
WHAT IS HAPPENING.

This pisses me off
The following is literally my mental transcript when I saw this:
"Does that say pray for us?"
"As in Jesus pray for us?"
"To God the Father?"
"That's not....not...no, it's not praying...like the saints..."
"That's..."
"Theologically...just not...appropriate"
"COME ON."
"Oh, that's a nice....wait"
"Wait."
"Wait.""Does that say pray for us?"
"As in Jesus pray for us?"
"As in GOD THE SON pray for us?"
"To who?""To God the Father?"
"That's not....not...no, it's not praying...like the saints..."
"That's..."
"Theologically...just not...appropriate"
"Ok, maybe during the incarnation but---"
"The communion of Saints wouldn't...."
"Just....""COME ON."

Trinity Sunday
Oh.
Let me walk you through it.
First, let's discuss the fact that the Cross is in there about as uncomfortably as is humanly possible to stick it in there. Second, God the Father looks like Santa. There's a reason we aren't meant to portray Him as an old man. First, it implies He is older than Jesus second, it's hideous. Third. The Holy Spirit looks like a seagull. And not just a seagull but a seagull from The Birds. As well. He is on a stick.
And finally, what Catholic statue with something holy on a cloud would be complete without winged baby heads.
Enjoy your High Feast Day y'all!!
Happy Trinity Sunday!
spring that buck twenty five for this masterpiece of devotional "art".
Oh.
Only kidding.
They want 210 dollars for this.
