AoftheA: One thing wrong in the Church today

…besides myself…is the vapid Youth “Praise & Worship” Mass.

So I was standing in line for confession this afternoon, when the Praise & Worship group started warming up. Bass guitar, drums, lounge-like keyboard… Then I remembered – they were the entertainment for the 4:30 PM Saturday Mass. As published in last week’s bulletin:

“In honor of World Youth Day next weekend, we are once again having rock music and praise songs at the 4:30 Mass next Saturday. We are expecting our Youth Group and many young people to attend…”

Oh yippee skippee. Rock music in the sanctuary.

continue at Acts of the Apostasy

The adventure of avoiding the vigil Mass warmups.  Been there.  

Fanatic Friday: My reputation proceeds me

AoftheA: 8 NCReporter Headlines I Hope To Never See

LarryD is a funny guy!  I posted one below, go read the rest over there.

3½ Time-Outs Tuesday

So That Michigan Maniac aka LarryD has started this "meme" of which I am participating, although I'm not sure why.  I have to speak incoherently to 3.5 topics. 

1.  We are expecting baby number 4 on our wedding anniversary.  On our wedding day, it rained 12 inches(that's right, a foot of rain) in La Crosse.  Some people couldn't get home because most highways were closed that night.  Considering the ...excitement... with our last try at this, we're still hoping for a more peaceful experience this time around. 

2. We just got a Kindle Fire last night.  They had The Autobiography of Saint Therese of Lisieux: The Story of a Soul for free to download.  I put down The Last Crusade (a must read) and started reading it last night. 

3.  LoyolaPress posted this: "Eight Jesuit Schools in the Big Dance--who are you rooting for? http://ow.ly/9Bo5t".  Would it be uncharitable to reply "Ex Corde Ecclesiae"?  I try not to, but I usually root for Marquette.  Mea culpa.  I don't think LarryD follows college basketball closely; Michigan State has pounded the Badgers three times this year and there's almost no trash talk.... maybe it's a penitential thing. 

3 1/2. Hoping to post a review and pictured from 2012 Men of Christ conference within the next week or so.
