Merry Christmas, everyone! In the past few days, I have run into good things and bad things. None of these are quite enough to make their own post, so I’m putting them all into one here.
Deplorable:
“Lessons and Carols” at Aquinas on the 23rd had a line (which was repeated at least once) about “some peoples’ belief in Santa is like other peoples’ belief in God.” I think they tossed in there “except it’s better to believe in God because He’s real” but even with the addition, my eyebrows have risen quite a bit. Watering down belief in God in this manner is part of the reason so few people believe in the True Presence!
Commendable:
At the end of midnight Mass at Mother of Sorrows, Fr. Bradshaw made an announcement to the whole church that with the new liturgical translations, Mother of Sorrows as a parish will be focusing more upon the beauty and majesty of the True Presence of Christ in the Eucharist. Finally!
A blessed Christmas season to all! Have fun with your families. ^_^

A Nod of the Miter @ Fr. Bradshaw!
And he is retiring next year!
Clarification–from what I understand, he has another year, probably leave June of ’12
With six months to go before retirements/transfers, I wonder how many priests are retiring in 2011?
