This post, courtesy of the Catholic Caveman, had me in pieces... but many a true word is spoken in jest. Cafeteria Catholics: face the facts... you are Roman Protestants if you think you can pick and choose the aspects of the Faith which don't upset you too much...
Hmm. I scored 9/10 ie I was not an RP for 9 out of the 10 questions. As an Anglican, I wonder what that makes me? ;>)
ReplyDeleteStephen, I'm waiting for you to start swimming the Tiber...

Hello MF,
ReplyDeleteI thought this was absolutely hilarious...I used to go to my local church until I said enough is enough, so I sympathise with the Roman Protestant thing, totally closed in on itself. I now attend the services at the Brompton Oratory and I feel that I really have come home, it just felt right to adore the Good Lord in this way. My local Church only serves me when I am unwell and have to maybe crawl to Church to do my Sunday duty. (I try not to be well on Sunday, if I can help it!). The very last time I went to my local 'round church' they had 'liberace' playing the piano non-stop so that there was absolutely no space for any form of private prayer and at the end of Mass, the chap gets a round of applause? Now that's a Roman Protestant. Sad but true.
I think your Blog is excellent. It has the right balance, focused, sharp and cheeful.
Hey buddy,
ReplyDeleteThanks for linking me!!
Cavey, I like the Neanderthal approach: spell it out in words of one syllable and club me over the head to make sure I get the point!
ReplyDeleteYours is one of my "platinum" blogs... keep up the great work.
No R.P. here. Thanks for the link to my laugh for the day.
ReplyDeleteOnce you decide you'll be able to walk accross. You won't miss a thing when you're on the other side. I dare say you'll spend a few months with the palm slapping the forehead "what was I thinking?"
