And Season's Greetings
To My Liberal Friends:
Please accept with no obligation, implied or implicit, my best wishes for an environmentally conscious, socially responsible, low-stress, non-addictive, gender-neutral celebration of the winter solstice holiday, practiced within the most enjoyable traditions of the religious persuasion of your choice, or secular practices of your choice, with respect for the religious/secular persuasion and/or traditions of others, or their choice not to practice religious or secular traditions at all. I also wish you a fiscally successful, personally fulfilling and medically uncomplicated recognition of the onset of the generally accepted calendar year 2008, but not without due respect for the calendars of choice of other cultures whose contributions to society have helped make America great. Not to imply that America is necessarily greater than any other country nor the only America in the Western Hemisphere . Also, this wish is made without regard to the race, creed, color, age, physical ability, religious faith or sexual preference of the wishee.
To My Conservative Friends:
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Hilarious quote and I love it! Merry Christmas to you, too!
Btw, any news at il Duomo as far as there being an "usus antiquior" there yet?
JP - Niente... I never did give Padre the list of signatures, as knowing him, I finally decided that a written request with real signatures would perhaps be worth attempting, anything that smacks of "demand", like an epeition, would not go over well.
Also, since I'm not really much at the Cathedral either anymore, I didn't really pursue the alternative of a real letter/signature survey -- anyone else out there who wants to try, I have 18 people on a list already that you can work off of.
I'm so offended!
That quote did not recognize my individuality as a human being, and my inherent dignity, consistent with not being patronized by some stupid agenda.
Now..that said...faithful Catholic to faithful Catholic....MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Maybe God will send me a roommate for Christmas so I can pay my bills for the rest of the year and not have to live in a box.

OK, seriously...I can't get an email through to you. Did you change your email address?
Mary Christmas, Merry! Did I get that syntax wrong?
I was at il Duomo last night for Midnight Mass. Abp Nienstedt celebrated, as is his custom with his beautiful singing voice, and Father Johnson and the crew of the Cathedral did a beautiful job.
Afterwards I congratulated the Archbishop for his "letter writing style" as evidenced by two recent letters to the Strib.
Wow, you are SUCH a cunt!
Christ is born today. But if He isn't born in my heart what difference does it make.
