My Big News Is...

I am being received into the Roman Catholic Church on Thursday!


I'll be on retreat with some nuns in the city for a couple days, and then on Thursday I'll be received into the Catholic Church, and I couldn't be happier.

For about 5 years, I've been considering making the leap from High Anglicanism to Catholicism, and after 5 years of prayer and discernment, I feel that is where God is asking me to be.

If you pray, your prayers are appreciated.







And, on a side note.  Look at this thing.

Big News!

Big news is on its way this week...its good news, too.

So for the time being...
DRUM ROLL LADIES...

Happy Easter Sinners!

Here's hoping the tooth bunny left all kinds of chocolate and crucifixes in your stockings and plenty of eggs under the palm sunday tree.

I've been drinking.

This is a bad idea.  Coming up next, a Chalice for the Eucharist in the shape of a beer bottle for people in AA.

I really doubt I can add anything.  So I'm just going to leave this here.

I literally had to slap myself so I knew I wasn't dreaming.

Where can I buy this and why haven't I done so already?

From Outsider Friar

On why I never post here

So, I was thinking last night that I haven't posted on here in about seven thousand years.  Let me explain why

1) I am in my last year of college, which means usually around this time it is essay festival...but THIS year means essay festival extraordinaire so I really haven't got time to wash my hair let alone blog about Catholic trash

2) I have a job.  Which eats up the time I normally have outside of writing essays.  I could start a blog just about the crazy people I deal with as a cashier, but I don't have time.

3) I adopted a puppy.  Which is probably the most energy consuming thing I've ever done

4) A bunch of other stuff that's not important to share in the internet.

SO my dear babies, probably this blog will return to at least weekly posting after easter.  Let's pretend we gave it up for Lent.

In the mean time...

Also

Black Jesus Figurine.  You're welcome.

Ashes to Ashes

And if you feel like doing some Lenten penance, feel free to read this "alternative liturgy" (my keyboard almost burst into flame typing that) that might make you puke on the uncooked rice you were kneeling on.

I know it's St. Cyprin's day and all...but....

With the amount of glitter, red and pink ut there today, how can I not wish y'all a happy valentine's day.

Here he is.  Maybe.  We're not sure.  A couple Churches out there think they've got him.

Oh.

This would be enough to make St. Therese bitchy.

Down the Rabbit Hole!

Down the rabbit hole and through the looking glass it's time for your daily dose of crazy!

So as I was attempting to find some pretty pictures of Our Lady (as I am wont to do.) on google I discovered a picture of Our Lady of La Salette with the pope on the other side and I thought "hey I run a bitchy blog lets see what this is"

If you thought the obsessed-with-the-third-secret-of-fatima gang were scary....

Listen, I'd love to be all up into Catholic conspiracy theories like the real pope in hiding in Italy or that the third secret was never revealed or that Fr. Corapi is an alien (or something, what the hell happened there any way?) but I just don't have time.  But these people...ok I'll just pop some quotes down here

"The 1944 Holy Ghost/holy spirit Judeo-Masonic Sacramental curse and the androgynous effects were taking off in WWII and further provoked by Masonic government propaganda"


"Judeo-Masonic Anti-Pope John Paul II actually did this in a little known ceremony in March, 2004: Obeying the command of this April 21, 2010 Third Secret, John Paul II transfers remains of St. Peter from the Vatican to Fatima in a symbolic admission that the Vatican no longer has the Apostolic Authority."

Did you know that praying the 5 "Our Father's" is actually Satanic?  I guess that Jesus fellow and His writing prayers was severely misguided since He didn't listen to Our Lady of Fatima.

"This woman is not Sr. Lucy, but a phony Sr. Lucy that was implanted and specially picked to serve the purpose of the false Fatima line and the Vatican II religion that has been foisted on the world since the Fuentes interview. In addition to the photographic evidence, the fact that the post-Vatican II “Sr. Lucy” is not the real Lucy screams out all over the place."

I'M IN HEAVEN!  God I love crazy people!  Is this Kitsch?  I don't even know, it might be too much to be kitsch who knows, who cares this is HILARIOUS!

God bless the internet.

I can't help it that I'm so popular.  My beauty is a curse.

Here is what dear reader Jessica said about this blog's motto which I hastily translated in google.

I thought I'd take it upon myself to let you know that Google Translate and similar tools are awful at translating English into Latin. They tend to give up on certain words, like "can" in "Si vos can loco niteo in is , loco niteo in is". Didn't even try to translate the darn thing. As a lover of Latin, mottoes, and snark, allow me to humbly submit a revised translation: Si ponere flavitem potes, pone flavitem. "Loco" means "place", as in Rome. Ponere is the verb that means "to place" or "to put". And "niteo" literally means "I glitter" which isn't at all what I think you meant, so I replaced it with a noun form, "flavitas" which means "shiny goldenness". The "on it" bit can be left out entirely, because mottoes as a rule are succinct and Latin has a lovely way of intimating things. Literally translated, what I've written would say "If you can put glitter [on it], put glitter [on it]." I hope this doesn't come off as pedantic or nitpicky, but when one takes four years of Latin in Catholic high school, then goes out into the world, one jumps at chances to actually use this random and seldomly useful knowledge. 


I am not drunk enough to understand a word of what I just read.
But thanks for the help!  It's appreciated! I'll be copyin' and pastin'!

Why does this exist?

This comes to us from reader Laura from Germany.

Somewhere in the world.  Someone thought "hey you know what'd be cool?" and no one stopped them from completing the task.

This is from the very funny Maureen who first calls this
"Latavio Divino"
(I actually died when I read that.)

Because you should really pray in the shower.

Scripture soap!

I don't want to live on this planet any more.

"Whey Better Farm is excited to introduce the newest addition to our line of soaps: scripture soap. If you are one who loves the Bible you know that there is always the great desire to share this love with others. I myself wondered how to possibly incorporate the Word of God into the work of my hands: my soap. One day I had an idea of burying a Bible verse into a bar of soap so that God's Word could offer words of hope, comfort and challenge to people as it has to me. And thus, scripture soap was born. After a bit of trial and error in perfecting the technique I discovered a way to do just that. Now I am offering these unique soaps here. As of yet and to my knowledge there are no other soaps like these in the world! These bars of soap each contain a unique line from scripture embedded in the middle of them. There are over 100 different verses so it is unlikely that anyone would ever get the same verse twice. They make a very thoughtful gift because they remind us to always keep what is the most important before us: God."

Rub the Word of the Lord on your ass, thanks to Whey Better Farm!

Also there is a kind of soap that has beer in it.

Guys look I made this.

Merry Kitschmas.

Have a good one, sinners!

I can't believe I missed it!

With exams and essays and a new puppy it totally slipped my mind that the Queen of Kitsch's feast day was a couple of days ago.
Allow me to make up for it!

Do you want her on a rug?!

Get her on a rug!

Do you want her on a terrible painting?

Get her on a terrible painting!

Do you want her on a watch?

Get her on a watch!

Want her on a quilt?

Get her on a quilt!

Ok, you get the idea.  Hope you all enjoyed your Our Lady of Guadalupe tacos and guacamole.  

But here is the Thing de Resistance.

Once her husband being buried upside down in your yard has gotten your house sold, it's time to freshen up with some non-magic magic Mary soap!

My dog

So as some of you know, I got a dog.  That's why I'm never on here any more since I've got more things to shake sticks at than sticks to shake.
But to make up for it: Here's some pictures of my puppy Joey!

Reader Submitted Racism!

This comes from Judy

Hi Frank,
I went to a bazaar at a neighboring church with my grandmother and mom, 
and felt compelled to share this one with you. Happy New Year!
Judy

Oof.  Ok, let's get started.  

1) Please note the gender-neutral character behind the girl with the pigtails.  In 10 years she will be in an "intentional community" as Sister Patty of Our Lady of Social Justice.

2) What has happened in Asia that has caused both of these poor children's livers to quit and give them worse jaundice than the whole cast of The Simpsons?

3) I think that black kid was an after thought.  Considering he is just sort of tagged onto the edge of the group, has blonde hair is is just coloured in with black ink.

I haven't seen anything this racist since this Christmas video from last year.
