TH2 commented, generally saying that it should not have been done, as this person was not even identified as working against the Catholic Church. I was effectively told to lighten up.<br /><br />So there ya go... Mr. Scampers is not as mean as some may think.TH2https://www.blogger.com/profile/02375386482765377541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4191489412373415438.post-7038215326627391502009-08-18T15:25:34.458-04:002009-08-18T15:25:34.458-04:00I still am in shock over the earrings.
Now seriou...I still am in shock over the earrings.<br /><br />Now seriously, any community of nuns can choose their "habit". I've seen some cloistered sisters wearing denium work dresses for the field/garden. And big straw hats.<br /><br />And, as much as I'd like to think clothing doesn't matter, it does. It's our public contract of our inner self. (I read that somewhere. Probably Tim Gunn from Project Runway. But it applies here as well.)<br /><br />modest.<br /><br />Oh, well some people are clueless.<br /><br />I remember my grandmother would recall going to going away parties for girls entering convents. No perfume for gifts. Plain and simple. Towels, unscented bath powder and soap, etc.<br /><br /><br />This is why young women with a calling to religious life are flocking to "habit" sisters and the 'goovey' sisters are dying out. <br /><br /><br />But, where will our Parishes get the future Religious Education Directors who promote the Guitar Masses?Lolahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07874681310775395586noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4191489412373415438.post-58725488586311509362009-08-18T15:15:36.567-04:002009-08-18T15:15:36.567-04:00A commenter on another blog, instead of coming her...A commenter on another blog, instead of coming here, commented the following about this post (whilst also criticising that person's blog, referring to this writer as one of her "readers", and indirectly implicating that bloggist as well, as somehow also responsible for this post - which she is definitely not.<br /><br />THE COMMENT-<br />"One of your readers, Heresy Hunter, has an awful post on his blog today in which he makes fun of the looks of some women religous. I don't care if he/she agrees with them or not. I don't care if these women are liberals or heretics. It is extremely mean, uncharitable and childish to devote an entire blog post to making fun of peoples looks."<br /><br />TH2 responded to that comment at that blog. It is restated here so as to avaid any misunderstanding.<br /><br />MY RESPONSE COMMENT (w/minor gramm chg)-<br /><br />Some points:<br /><br />1. If you would have read the post properly you would have noticed that fun was made of the clothing/hair of the women, their adornments and accentuations (thus the “fabulous fashoinistas” phrase), not facial/bodily appearances per se.<br /><br />2. You apparently failed to take notice of the “lesson” mentioned at the beginning of that post, which effectively said that heretical nuns who live for the spirit of the world are not living for God primarily. There is an objective separateness from the world that is part of parcel of being a religious. If you live by the spirit of the world, then expect to be treated in the same “mean” way by that same spirit.<br /><br />3. “I don't care if these women are liberals or heretics” You will care when their philosophies and policies begin to affect you life in a personal way. Should I remain silent when I see blatant disobedience, and let error perpetuate? Bishop Sheen said that lay Catholics act as the check to make sure that religious remain faithful to the Roman Catholic Church. If nothing is said, however harsh it may seem, then problems will only get worse. St. Athanasius: “The floor of Hell is carpeted with the skulls of priests”. These are harsh words. If I am classed under this category, then I take that as a compliment.<br /><br />4. You seem not to have a sense of humor, which I think is an endemic quality of a faithful orthodox Catholic.<br /><br />5. Finally, in your comment, what you are really saying is that you are a better person than me, more charitable than this sinner (which is likely true), though I also think that you are inwardly congratulating yourself by differentiating the “awful”, “mean” and “childish” post with your alleged goodness, a “I am more holier than thou” kind of thing. The word Pharisee now comes to mind.TH2https://www.blogger.com/profile/02375386482765377541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4191489412373415438.post-85077385521149462922009-08-17T18:21:59.950-04:002009-08-17T18:21:59.950-04:00You've done it again!!!!You've done it again!!!!Kevin Whitemanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07019976622801954677noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4191489412373415438.post-48830793421405960442009-08-17T00:49:09.880-04:002009-08-17T00:49:09.880-04:00The bit about the pin was sort of tongue in cheek ...The bit about the pin was sort of tongue in cheek & said because of how they claim the Spirit of VII to justify what they do.Alhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07721319432213055605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4191489412373415438.post-25869994510741531672009-08-16T20:50:10.272-04:002009-08-16T20:50:10.272-04:00Al, I thought the same thing about the "SSS&q...Al, I thought the same thing about the "SSS" as well!<br /><br />As for the pin, it seems to be a descending dove, so I assume the Holy Spirit.

We know it can't be tobacco since that wouldn't be PC chic.<br /><br />Once again, Mr. Scampers hits it out of the ballpark.<br /><br />PS, I have EWTN on & they are showing an old Mother Angelic classi from the 80s. It may be polyester, but at least you can still be sure she is a faithful nun, esp with the huge crucifix she wore. Contrast that to what Leyser has that could or couldn't be a cross.<br /><br />PPS Am I correct in assuming that the pin that Simone Campbell, SSS (Why do the initials make me thing of a mid 30s German orginization?) has on is the Spirit of Vatican II & not the Holy Spirit?Alhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07721319432213055605noreply@blogger.com
