"Yes, for the hundreth time… they found the ring, already!
About this blog…
“This blog is like a fusion of the Baroque ‘salon’ with its well-tuned harpsichord around which polite society gathered for entertainment and edification and, on the other hand, a Wild West “saloon” with its out-of-tune piano and swinging doors, where everyone has a gun and something to say. Nevertheless, we try to point our discussions back to what it is to be Catholic in this increasingly difficult age, to love God, and how to get to heaven.” – Fr. Z

To the bishops: “Get ready, boys! You ain’t seen nothing yet!”
“Ok… 1-2-3,1-2-3… Roll out the barrel…”
“Do you know, my dear brothers and sisters, where will go all those good bishops who read and obey Summorum Pontificum? Amen, amen, digo vobis. Most surely will they go to heaven!”
One Ring to bind them all,
One Ring to find them,
One Ring to rule them all,
And to the rubrics bind them.
“To you curial officials who released all that nonsense about the deformation of the Good Friday prayers, I give you the back of my hand.”
That’s an awful like a ‘live action’ shot of the teaching gesture you refer to in the comments to this post, Father.
The Holy Father demonstrates his bowling technique; the Vatican’s “holy rollers” are undefeated in their league.
Our sweet LORD does not will for the Church to be subjected to liturgical claptrap. No! In the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, he brings us to reverence AND joy…which ARE compatible, by the way!!!
“Two men decided that they wanted to have a BBQ at the Vatican, so they climbed over the wall and into the garden. While one of the men was setting up the grill, the other noticed the Holy Father coming into the garden area and dove in the bushes. The Holy Father walked right up to the man with the grill, said something to him and appeared to make the sign of the cross over him and and walked away. The man in the bushes ran up to his friend and said, “Was that something! Not only did he speak to you, he gave you a papal blessing!!! What did he say?”
The other man, while making a gesture that looked like the blessing repeated the Holy Father’s words:
“He said, ‘You and the fella in the bushes get your grill and get the heck outta here!'”

“Release the springerle!”
Throw it to me! I’m open!
Everybody was Kung-fu fightin’! (yes, everybody)
(After the Holy Father sees Fr. Z’s pic on the WDTPRS blog)
Yo, Fr. Z. THIS is how you do it.
“Eat, drink, and be merry, for soon Lent will be upon us!”
“Just SAY THE BLACK AND DO THE RED!!”
“You heard what I said in SP–what, you want a fresh one?”
“I do a favour for you . . . maybe you do a favour for me someday.”

“I’m going to count to five, and any bishop who hasn’t implemented Summorum Pontificum by then is going to be losing HIS ring!”
Non ch’e male!
“Oy vey!”
“Zay ze Black, Do ze Red! Everybody now together zing togezer….!”
:-) Gordo
“Say the Black, Do the Red! Everybody now sing together….!”

You dont agree with the Moto Eminence? Ask me if I care!
Fünf shall be the number of the count, and the number of the counting shall be fünf. By the way, has anyone seen my Hasenpfeffer?
It’s getting harder and harder to hail a cab around here.
“For the next benediction, we’re gonna use a monstrance that’s THIS tall!”
What can I say? Before the election I spoke to the Jesuits like a Dutch Uncle.
East is this way
One Ring to bind them all,
One Ring to find them,
One Ring to rule them all,
And to the rubrics bind them.
