Spied in the wild…

From a reader:

I was at the Archdiocese of [EDITED OUT] Tribunal office last week and saw a mug with the black/red quote, searched what it meant and found your live broadcast. 

Buy WDTPRS stuff!Ah yes, the Say The Black Do The Red coffee mugs. 

I am sure there are many clerics out there who have one… or want one.

    I want to present these mugs to our clergy, but have a problem to pay it, because I haven’t USD credit card…

  2. Now that would be a great ordination gift! (hint, hint)

    @ekurlow: I think if you use your credit card to purchase a mug online, you’ll be charged for the amount in *your* currency as converted from USD according to the exchange rate at the moment of the transaction.

  4. Thomas says:

    Are the mugs available at any stores or chains, or must they be ordered online? I know several priest who absolutely need them.

  5. You can only get them here.

    Can anyone tell me where the mugs are manufactured?

    Why not have the text “It’s better in Latin”
    actually *in* Latin?

  8. MCITL says:

    Where is the “Archdiocese of Tribunal”? I don’t find that in my Kennedy Directory.

    Fr, If I send you a letter with some money in it, can you send me a mug? I don’t have a creditcard and I live in The Netherlands, and I want to surprise my (NO, very modern) parishpriest with the mug.

    I am very gratefull for everything you do. Keep up the good work!

    Pax et Bonum,

    I am relatively new to the site, so am probably missing the obvious; hence this really stupid question: What does “say the black, do the red” mean? I have read through a lot of the material on the site but can’t find the reference. Does it have something to do with the 1962 Missal? I have a 1943 Missal, but all of it is in black. You’ll probably tell me that the explanation is right there on the first page of the site, but I can’t find it anywhere. Sorry for being dense, but please explain the meaning of this.

  11. Colleen says:

    Thank you, Frank! That clears it up. I can definitely relate to what the author of that blog says, too. And knowing the meaning of the expression now, I think I will go ahead and order some mugs.

    Someone holler when we can get these in an espresso size.

    Please tell me that they emit a high-pitched screetch if you fill them with instant coffee.
