  • I had this idea about writing a fake news article about Pope Francis resigning, but of course someone beat me to it:

    Mother of God, pray for us sinners.

  • Drat... if only it were true!
    "Some preachers will keep silence about the truth, and others will trample it underfoot and deny it. Sanctity of life will be held in derision even by those who outwardly profess it, for in those days Our Lord Jesus Christ will send them not a true Pastor but a destroyer."  St. Francis of Assisi

  • The Onion is really funny when it isn't obscene or blasphemous.  
    Stir up within Thy Church, we beseech Thee, O Lord, the Spirit with which blessed Josaphat, Thy Martyr and Bishop, was filled, when he laid down his life for his sheep: so that, through his intercession, we too may be moved and strengthen by the same Spir

    Unless he was followed by Pope Williamson it really would not move me an inch. In a sense, I think a flagrant Modernist in Rome is for the best (of course, the restoration of Holy Tradition is the best, I mean while the Crisis lasts). To borrow the good Bishop's quote, 'a big split...then clarity'. The ritualist Modernism of Benedict XVI is a lot more subtle and a lot more dangerous - it's sunk a good part of the SSPX, for goodness sake!
    Old-fashioned is good, modern is suicidal.
