   I think the image is inaccurate, the Catholic Church belongs in the ball with “Jesus, Apostles and Early Church Fathers” not as a string outside of the Early Church.

   Although, the Reformation mess is appropriate.

   And I believe that mess was used to make this:

   Tim-Oh ‘mein Gawd’. That is so funny….and soooo uugglly!

   But I love the ‘yarn allegory’, Father Z-I bet a cat was just waiting to pounce on that pile and play with that ball! Cute…

   Ha! It gives a whole new definition to “spinning a yarn”!

   Hello Tim,

   No, that “miter” looks like some kind of acrylic. *This* is more likely what the yarn was used to create: http://www.standfirminfaith.com/images/technicolor_yawn.jpg

   All of which admittedly is probably not fair to conservative Protestants who still actually take their creeds, such as they are, seriously.

   The mess looks like my yarn when I have been crocheting from the neat ball and then discover I made a serious mistake in the pattern. I quickly undo all the stitches I made after the mistake, resulting in a worse mess than that in the picture.

   However, I undo the mistake and re-crochet the rest, ending with a lovely garment!

   We have too many ripped out messes that are just left messy.

    I loved this, being a knitter and all. Now I will smile everytime I look at my yarn. You’ve now covered all my favorite topics – cooking, good Catholic commentary, and knitting. Great job, Fr.!

    I needed that. And we got some bonus laughs off of hideous vestments!

    Did a cat do that? If so, can we name him Luther or Calvin?

    You’d think that women, more typically knowing how to sew, could come up with something a bit nicer than those pictures.

    Love the visual representation though.

    Unscrambling the Reformation looks like it is going to take a while. We are not the Roman Catholic Church. We are the Catholic Church.

    Another possible name for the cat is Ulrich Zwingli, Henry and Thomas Crammer
