Jonathan said...: Possibly solving the ages-long mystery which has puzzled many a church historian, a German archaeologist plausibly argues in the Spring 2009 edition of Die Kleine Christische Fuehrer-Forschungen-Zeitschrift, that the strategy which may have been used by pious early Christian believers to remove the relics of the martyrs to the sanctity of their secret catacomb churches, was to dress up as lions, zebras, and even clowns, -- thus cleverly allowing themselves access to the main theatre of the Coliseum and its storage-rooms during the daylight, while completely completely evading detection by ever-vigilant pagan persecutors.

Viva said...: Due to the constant complaints that mass was a bore and was taking much too long, the "Extraordinary Ministers of Holy communion" decided to expedite the process by firing the hosts into the "audience" with their newly trademarked "Communion Cannons”.; 6:59 PM

Jonathan said...: "Dismissive of claims that they represent values threatening to society at large, the radically separatist church of the Sanctified Sabbatarian Fools for Christ (a group of whom are seen here leaving a supply depot near their sealed compound in Idaho), insist that they are the ones who are suffering persecution for taking the Bible literally."; 8:24 AM

veritas said...: I thought those clowns couldn't possibly be trendy priests, because they look far too serious! Every trendy priest I have ever known walks around with an idiot "everybody loves me" smile on his face all the time ---

But then I remembered. There is one time when the trendy priest loses his idiot smile.

It is when he talks about those right-wingers who receive Holy Communion on the tongue, or do everything Rome tells them to do, or when someone mentions Opus Dei, or when someone says what a wonderful Pope, Pope Benedict is.

Then Fr Trendy loses his simpleton smile and does have the same angry look the clowns in the picture have. After all those nasty conservatives don't understand - we are at Church to have FUN, FUN, FUN! Who wants to mess that up with that stuff about reverence and worship?; 8:14 PM
