The rest of the series is here. Drum roll please...!10. Those jaunty fuschia birettas the bishops get to wear. (Thanks, DC)
9. We have Cardinal Zen...
8. and Cardinal Sin.
7. We're not emergent: we're eternal.
6. We're not progressive: we're prophetic.
5. We're not old-fashioned: we're rooted.
4. We're not liberal: we love our neighbor.
3. We're not conservative: we look to God alone.
2. We're not entertained: we've received the peace of Christ.
1. ...and we're just getting started, baby.
Say it with me everyone: Thanks be to God!
--I.C.
13 the midrash:
Dude, the birettas should definitely have been higher up on the list. ;)
or rather, Deo Gratias!
You done good, I.C.!1
But God is conservative though, right?
I like that!
I thought Baretta was a TV show, not a hat!
Thanks folks. I feel obscene pleasure in having carried this off. I really wondered if I would ever get to #1.
Diesel, ha!
Beez, maybe you'll learn about birettas in seminary (but I kinda hope you learn a few other things first!).
IC:
I told one of the admissions committee in my interview this week (I was accepted: YAY! Off to seminary in one month: YIKES!):
"The best thing about returning to the Faith and reading the Catechism cover to cover was that I discovered how much I don't know."
Congrats, Beez! Which seminary?
BTW my students say much the same thing.
I am glad we cyber-collided! Now you know my secret- I, too, am a blogger. Boy that felt good. as confessions always do.
Yet alas, I cannot absolve you. :)
I think the top 7 would look good on a bumper sticker!
Cminor, we're working on the shirts right now. :)
"We're not conservative: we look to God alone."
...and the Pope of course :)
