IPPG Under CF Interdict

Regarding the Irondequoit Pastoral Planning Group's latest statements:

Sounds like the IPPG and the Bishop have some very strict criteria for which parishes to close. 1) determine which parish is the most orthodox and 2) determine which parish has communion rails in which are used to hold back the various pets that are brought into the church. Just when I thought the Bishop couldn't do more damage, he and the planning groups press forward. God help us.

This isn't fair, if I had known that for all these years that we could have taken our pets to church, I'd had my pets in the front seat with me.

They're kinda stingy and probably wouldn't put anything in the collection. I think my German Shepherd doesn't like the Bishop at all, so we could have some growling going on here. I'll try to restraint my dog, but he's pretty strong. I tried to teach him not to bark, but it didn't work. I'm also afraid my dog might mistake the altar rail for some kind of fire hydrant. oooops!

Maybe I should bring my other German Shepherd, Pope Benedict, with me.

I have a feeling you'd be more able to bring a dog into a parish in Rochester than you would the pope.

Great clip. Nice job!

The purpose of the altar rail is to keep Joan Sobala and Nancy DeRycke out of the sanctuary. I think that's pretty obvious.

Any volunteers to build communion rails at Good Shepherd and St. Anne?

lol

I would, but they probably would stop me halfway through the job.

That's when you pull out your badge and say, "It's alright, folks, I'm with the Liturgy Police."

To Bishop Clark, From His Humble Servants:

"Prince of degredations, bought and sold,
These verses, written in your crumbling sty,
Proclaim the faith that I have held and hold,
And publish that in which I mean to die."
