  • I was driving down the highway and I saw a bumper sticker that said; “Pope Paul VI high school baseball team”.  

    I got to thinking about what type of team this may be.  They might be able to hit and pitch but I bet they make a heck of alot of errors!

    They say good comedians do not laugh at their own jokes.

    I’m not a good comedian.

    Give me a minute.

    Okay.  I’m finished laughing.  

    I thought further and figured if I wanted to make the parallel between the baseball team and Paul 6 that my initial inclination was not fully accurate.  They would not only make a bunch of errors, but they would not get anything right.  They would stand at the wrong positions, face the wrong way on the pitcher’s mound and use a hockey stick for a baseball bat.  

    But even this would not make the analogy complete.  

    They would not only do everything wrong but they would destroy everything that is right.  They would dump gallons of water on their home field right before the game started, make sure the bases and home plate were removed and replaced by kicking tees and have the pitcher roll the ball to where home plate used to be like a bowling ball.  In fact, the ball they would use to play would probably be a ping-pong ball.  

    They could have picked almost anyone else that ever existed and had a better representative of one who played they game as it should be played - without making any errors.  

    “The Paul VI baseball team”?!?  That would be like naming a team “The Demonic Catholics”, “The Heretical Popes” or “The Damned Saints”.  How paradoxal do you want to get?

I have never said aught against Thee. Nor do I persist stubbornly in my views. If I have ever expressed myself erroneously on this Sacrament, I submit to the judgement of the Holy Roman Church, in obedience of which I now part from this world."
