HAHA...I saw Paul Priest's glee on his facebook page. I wondered if they allowed for "priestesses" - I'll settle for nothing less than Cardinaless - why settle for a Ford when you can have a Rolls Royce? [Pope would be too much of a pain in the rear, and keeping white clean all the time would be a bore.]
Angela; the need to keep on washing the scapular (in particular) is a salutary reminder to Dominicans of the need for continual examination of their consciences, and repentance for their sins !
(Of course, there's also the story of B. John XXIII, who, shortly after his election, got ink on his fingers and - as priests habitually do when that happens - wiped them on his cassock . . . and then looked down ad realized what he had done, and said 'yet another thing that Popes can't do !'
DM, well, they CAN do that - if the pope in question doesn't also mind if the nun in charge of his laundry sees to it that his shorts are also starched....
I was hooked on Farmville, until my flash drive player stopped working at the house. Now I just play when I'm on vacation, assuming that the hotel has wifi.
They say more people would rather give up a flush toilet than Facebook! I smell a blog in there somewhere!!
Anonymous posters are fine, but please give yourself a nickname so I know anon I from anon II. "Jack/Jill of the Amazing Wolverine Tribe" is preferable to "anonymous."
Wait until you try Priestville...

ReplyDeleteI could never be a Dominican - Carmelite brown hides stains better LOL!
ReplyDeleteWell, perhaps "Premonstratensian" would be fun - IF you could hire someone else to do your laundry and drycleaning.
ReplyDeleteI thought I'd died and gone to heaven 1st time I saw one in full regalia - I felt like pointing and screaming "Look, look, a prothonatary warbler!"

ReplyDeleteFrontierville is the fastest growing facebook game.. It has crossed over 24 million online players this week
ReplyDeleteDM - I didn't know that about the scapular and I LOVE that little vignette about Bl. John XXIII!
ReplyDelete(I still visit!) Love your kitties.
ReplyDeleteI signed up but haven't visited Priestville yet. BTW, I've tagged you for a meme on my blog.
ReplyDeleteHi Gem,
ReplyDeleteI was hooked on Farmville, until my flash drive player stopped working at the house. Now I just play when I'm on vacation, assuming that the hotel has wifi.

Have a great day!
