    Spending donations on Cat spa

    I thought some of the good people around the world who, in good faith, give some of their hard-earned money to Bp Dolan and sgg.org/cult have a right to know how it is used.  Well, here is one fine and truly noble example:

    The rectory cats, Puccini and Vivaldi (no, I am NOT lying about their names), were recently treated to a stay at the local kitty spa.

    Not what you had in mind when you mailed that check?  Well, that is between you and Bp Dolan.  Give him a call and ask him about it all.  I feel certain he would love to hear from you.

  • For those of you that are, understandably, most heartily concerned about the welfare and activities of the cats, you can often find updates/references in the Bishop's Corner section of the SGG bulletin.  While I could write, and I think such says, volumes, I shall resist the temptation to do so.

  • At least whoever named the cats has good taste in music.

  • St. Bernard comes next: he not only approves of the language of St. Jerome, but he sometimes uses
    his words, although he does not mention his name. Thus he speaks in his very long Sermon on the
    words of St. Peter, "Behold we have left all things," which occur in the Gospel of St. Matthew: "A
    cleric," he says, "who hath any part with the world, will have no inheritance in heaven: if he
    possess anything beside God, the Lord will not be his inheritance." And a little below he proceeds,
    declaring what a cleric can retain of ecclesiastical benefices: " Not to give the property of the poor to
    the poor, is the same as the crime of sacrilege: whatever ministers and dispensers not lords and
    possessors receive out of church property beyond mere food and clothing, is by a sacrilegious cruelty
    taken from the patrimony of the poor." Thus St. Bernard perfectly agrees with St. Jerome.
