Sometimes you need a visual image to get the point across.
I enjoyed this image from The Sacred Page:

Awesome. Absolutely hilarious.
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, LOL. Thanks, I needed that, really.
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”!
Gad, that woman must be colorblind.
I’ve found Yarnia!
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
