Patheos-Approval Pending

To say that the Church is not rolling from success to success and from popularity unto popularity isn't saying anything we don't already know.  Certainly the news out of the chanceries and the dicasteries is anything but good.  The world hates the Church as much as ever, but the more the Church tries to cozy up to the world the worse it gets for Catholics.

Many people don't go to Church anymore, they don't go to confession anymore, they don't baptize their children anymore.  Many people don't believe in Church teachings anymore. Our own leaders have seemingly lost the will to stick up for the faith, and have in many cases spread confusion and dismay themselves.

The solution of the really cool neo-Catholic blogs:  attack anyone who notices these things.  Then, hide in the corner under a pile of coats and hope that everything turns out all right.

I'm tired of being stuck at the crazy table!  I want to be loved!

So, friends, I hope you will enjoy the gallows humor in this satirical post by St. Corbinian's Bear.  It gives the perfect template to get a real Patheos blog:

Pope Francis Does Good Thing 


People, it's OK.  The Church will never fail. God bless those willing to fight the "Long Defeat".  Victory seems temporally impossible, but in light of eternity, it is assured.

"The solution of the really cool neo-Catholic blogs: attack anyone who notices these things..." and respectfully write a petition!!!


Fisher More
Fr. Wylie say, “Good-bye”

Holy Innocents
Deacon Nick
Slowly boil, now that’s the trick

So cock your pens
And write your pappy
Spill your ink on trees once sappy

But do not fight
With soul and might
In charity, just letter-write

For you are lords
Approved patricians
Who give your lives for bloody petitions!
