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:

"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."

I'm Glad Catholics Have The Dark Night

Because if I was a fundy...

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.

There's been a terrible accident

Someone allowed a mental patient out that should have remained in solitary confinement...

Patron Saint of Reality TV

Look me in the eye and tell me Bl. JPII isn't saying "guuurl, I'ma POP OFF in a SECOND and you gon' loose that fake ass weave".  

Just as he was in life.....

There is probably a very interesting story about this

Too bad I'm too afraid to hear it.

I can unite people

If you're a traditionalist, these sisters and going to throw bowling balls at the people responsible for the HHS Mandate.

And if you're a modernist, they're going to chuck them at the investigators of the LCWR 

Say what you want, but the middle one is clearly evil.

This Didn't Take Long

Why get the book...

Why read this book?

When you could just watch the movie?

I'll still probably buy it

As far as toys go...

this one is BAAAAAAA-AAAAD.

I'm sorry for that last pun.  I'm sorry.  I'm sorry.  Please don't arrest me.

Buy it here.

It's just unnecessary.

Just.

Why?

A new liturgical development

Our Liturgical Celebrations ought to embrace everyone.  We should make room in our house for ALL peoples.
And this includes weirdos.
Appropriate music includes U2's "Streets Have No Name" or perhaps "Morning Has Broken" or even "Lord of the Dance".



I wish.

St. Geppeddo

Can we please just...revoke some people's license to make art?

Somewhere, some place, in the middle of....let's face it, America, someone thought "you know what I should paint."  

No one stopped them.

Just think about it.

I do believe that in Heaven we will be able to participate in our favourite hobbies.

However this means that I may someday encounter the following

"powder's fresh, and if its not, I'll make it so."
