If that’s an angel, I’d like to contact him for some business…just a little business. He looks formidable and determined; and I’m not referring to the bloke lying on the ground with his eyes popping out!!
Comment by nazareth priest — 6 March 2010 @ 11:22 pmWhen guardian angels really get serious.
Comment by catholicmidwest — 6 March 2010 @ 11:24 pm“What’d you say about da Tridentine Mass?”
Comment by Geometricus — 6 March 2010 @ 11:27 pmGreat photo!
Hey, Father, seriously, this blog is an awesome place for us displaced Catholics to come and cut-up a bit! I live in South Carolina; and it really is interesting being a Catholic here, at times (although generally the people are wonderful)!
So, it’s nice to stop in here, and get my Catholic dose for the day! I hail, originally, from a part of the west where the majority are catholic, now I’m in a part of the east where it’s 5%, notwithstanding the Mexican immigrants! So, I’m a fish on dry land, so to speak!
But, I find the climate, and politics, agreeable, so I will stay, until God calls me elsewhere….
Comment by Maltese — 7 March 2010 @ 12:47 amReminds me of those freaky Weeping Angels from Doctor Who. “Don’t Blink, blink and you’re dead!”
Comment by The Kernel — 7 March 2010 @ 12:50 amClearly Zuhlio has the most formidable entourage of any hip-hop artist.
Comment by JonM — 7 March 2010 @ 1:26 amDon’t ever miss with those fat naked flying babies.
Comment by Fr. Steve — 7 March 2010 @ 2:25 amHahaha what a great image to start my day with. I have some work the little guy could do.
Comment by seanl — 7 March 2010 @ 7:16 am“Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee”
Comment by gmaskell — 7 March 2010 @ 7:42 amI hate in when that happens! Although I might easily make an exception for priests who like to photograph their food..
Comment by frere wilfrid — 7 March 2010 @ 9:27 amDear Fr. Z!
Wow! I am a long-time reader of your ineffable (sorry, couldn’t resist) blog (I even adopted your emphasis/comment method for some of my articles – hope that’s okay). Seeing that you seem to be reading “rom, römer, am römsten” occasionally or even by chance was a nice surprise! Thanks for the link and keep up the great work!
In Christ,

“...OK… OK…I get your message
Comment by awlms — 7 March 2010 @ 10:08 am......I’ll join 40 Days for LIFE!”
“..OK…OK…I’ll take her to the Prom
Just my luck!!....I got Cupid for my Guardian Angel
Comment by awlms — 7 March 2010 @ 10:23 amVery funny photo. Dom Alipius is always a good source for Putti.
In this new world, it takes Father Z to let me know what about a funny post on a brother’s website. But, I hope that he gets some readers on his blog. It is very good (if your speak German).
Comment by Dom Kilian — 7 March 2010 @ 1:55 pmOh that’s FUNNY!
I like the ‘float like a butterfly, sting like a bee’ that gmaskell used….
Comment by irishgirl — 7 March 2010 @ 3:29 pmGreat comment, Kernel! I was thinking the same thing.
Life is better with a Dr Who reference.
Comment by LarryD — 7 March 2010 @ 4:54 pmJacob wrestling with the angel? I always pictured Jacob having a beard…
Comment by introibo — 7 March 2010 @ 10:17 pmDon’t make me put my flyin’ Putti on ya’.
Comment by edwardo3 — 8 March 2010 @ 12:13 amDitto on the Doctor Who comments… and I have to say, that particular episode freaked me out!
Comment by s_schmude — 9 March 2010 @ 6:37 pmListen here. You “Say the Black, Do the Red”, start wearing a cassock, and nobody gets hurt. Capiche?
