I suppose anyone can go to see the Nuns On The Bus go ’round and ’round. This photo, however, from the Catholic Beat, says a lot.
25 June in Fountain Square, in Cincinnati, OhiO.
Sr. Simone Campbell and friend.
Sr. Simone, carrying a copy of the “Faithful Budget,” greeted a supporter while a film crew captured the moment. Behind them is supporter Janice Sevré-Duszynska, a peace activist associated with Maryknoll who has been “ordained” by a group claiming to be able to ordain women as priests.
No, I am not saying that the wyrd-wyman is on The Bus going ’round and ’round.
And there is this from the Fishwrap:
“Campbell said the “Faithful Budget” would not cut spending. Its basic premise is “reasonable revenue for responsible programs,” – a phrase Campbell had the crowd repeat three times, a technique her teacher friends say is a good way to get people to remember a concept.”
OK kids, repeat after me: “Gyro, gyras, gyrat, gyramus, gyratis, gyrant” – repetitio est mater studiorum.
The woman clad in tee and sunglasses on her head us the prystess? How undignified an ensemble for a prystess. Shouldn’t it be made of billowing rainbow gauze? C’mon!
Yes, the woman in pink, in the background having a conversation with one of the elderly “nuns on the bus”, is the one who famously “shook her ordination tambourine” while marching for “women’s ordination”.
I turned my laptop sideways to read her (the woman prystess in pink) sign and it says “Wouldn’t it be great if the Democratic Party had as much courage as the Nuns on the Bus?”
I see that this picture was taken in Fountain Square in Cincinnati; well, does anyone remember the female mimes called ‘The Fountain Square Fools’, who were at WYD in Denver in 1993 and did the Stations of the Cross? That got Mother Angelica all riled up, and she went on the air (EWTN was covering WYD) and called out the Church liberals who were advocating things like female ordination and inclusive language in the Mass.
These idiotic females (the false ‘priestess’ included) are today’s version of the ”The Fountain Square Fools’.
‘Nuff said….
acardnal: The other side of the sign said “Republican policies stop a beating heart.” Really. (I took this picture.) That someone would think that was a clever and positive message says A LOT.
“Nuns on the Bus ” – forever proud to be “in the world” and OF the world!
There are many Evangelical missionaries sending bibles to China. Maybe they will be kind enough to send some of those bibles to the “The Bus” .
As a resident of Cincinnati, may I say that the womynpriest presence here is pretty pathetic if I’ve never heard of it before now? Or were they all just visiting, not just the rock star travel bus? (Pity I didn’t know ahead of time, I might’ve stopped by and said something faintly logical — but no, I nearly forgot, exploding heads is covered under “thou shalt not kill”…)
God bless Mother Angelica, for whom i pray and wish all the best. I do, however, wish EWTN could find such an exceptional person, clad in her beautiful habit and with her humor and intelligence, to help people focus on the power and importance of Women Religious, and to counteract/ neutralize these tiresome bus- people.

“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
grateful on 1st Passion Sunday – some notes: “After mass, a friend was saying they didn’t like the statues being covered. I sent this to her. Also thank…”
Everyone, work to get this into your parish bulletins and diocesan papers.
The most evident mark of God’s anger and the most terrible castigation He can inflict upon the world are manifested when He permits His people to fall into the hands of clerics who are priests more in name than in deed, priests who practice the cruelty of ravening wolves rather than the charity and affection of devoted shepherds.

“Until the Lord be pleased to settle, through the instrumentality of the princes of the Church and the lawful ministers of His justice, the trouble aroused by the pride of a few and the ignorance of some others, let us with the help of God endeavor with calm and humble patience to render love for hatred, to avoid disputes with the silly, to keep to the truth and not fight with the weapons of falsehood, and to beg of God at all times that in all our thoughts and desires, in all our words and actions, He may hold the first place who calls Himself the origin of all things.”

“He [Satan] will set up a counter-Church which will be the ape of the Church because, he the devil, is the ape of God. It will have all the notes and characteristics of the Church, but in reverse and emptied of its divine content. It will be a mystical body of the anti-Christ that will in all externals resemble the mystical body of Christ. In desperate need for God, whom he nevertheless refuses to adore, modern man in his loneliness and frustration will hunger more and more for membership in a community that will give him enlargement of purpose, but at the cost of losing himself in some vague collectivity.”
“Who is going to save our Church? Not our bishops, not our priests and religious. It is up to you, the people. You have the minds, the eyes, and the ears to save the Church. Your mission is to see that your priests act like priests, your bishops act like bishops.”
“The modern habit of doing ceremonial things unceremoniously is no proof of humility; rather it proves the offender's inability to forget himself in the rite, and his readiness to spoil for every one else the proper pleasure of ritual.”
- C.S. Lewis

As for Latin…
"But if, in any layman who is indeed imbued with literature, ignorance of the Latin language, which we can truly call the 'catholic' language, indicates a certain sluggishness in his love toward the Church, how much more fitting it is that each and every cleric should be adequately practiced and skilled in that language!" - Pius XI
"Let us realize that this remark of Cicero (Brutus 37, 140) can be in a certain way referred to [young lay people]: 'It is not so much a matter of distinction to know Latin as it is disgraceful not to know it.'" - St. John Paul II
Grant unto thy Church, we beseech Thee, O merciful God, that She, being gathered together by the Holy Ghost, may be in no wise troubled by attack from her foes. O God, who by sin art offended and by penance pacified, mercifully regard the prayers of Thy people making supplication unto Thee,and turn away the scourges of Thine anger which we deserve for our sins. Almighty and Everlasting God, in whose Hand are the power and the government of every realm: look down upon and help the Christian people that the heathen nations who trust in the fierceness of their own might may be crushed by the power of thine Arm. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, Thy Son, who liveth and reigneth with Thee in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God, world without end. R. Amen.

If they really are so busy doing charitable works they shouldn’t have time for this grandstanding nonsense.
And there is this from the Fishwrap:
“Campbell said the “Faithful Budget” would not cut spending. Its basic premise is “reasonable revenue for responsible programs,” – a phrase Campbell had the crowd repeat three times, a technique her teacher friends say is a good way to get people to remember a concept.”

The bus nuns aren’t lefitst fringe lunatics at all. No, really! I mean it…
The woman clad in tee and sunglasses on her head us the prystess? How undignified an ensemble for a prystess. Shouldn’t it be made of billowing rainbow gauze? C’mon!
The woven bag must be for the ordination tambourine…?
AnnAsher – I think he’s referring to the woman in pink with the sign referring to the democratic party and the ordination tambourine carrying case…
Birds of a feather, after all. When you’ve seen one apostate….
Yes, the woman in pink, in the background having a conversation with one of the elderly “nuns on the bus”, is the one who famously “shook her ordination tambourine” while marching for “women’s ordination”.
Publicity hounds; what happened to the cloistered monk or nun, praying for our souls!
I turned my laptop sideways to read her (the woman prystess in pink) sign and it says “Wouldn’t it be great if the Democratic Party had as much courage as the Nuns on the Bus?”
I see that this picture was taken in Fountain Square in Cincinnati; well, does anyone remember the female mimes called ‘The Fountain Square Fools’, who were at WYD in Denver in 1993 and did the Stations of the Cross?

These idiotic females (the false ‘priestess’ included) are today’s version of the ”The Fountain Square Fools’.
‘Nuff said….
I remember the days when you could tell who was a nun by her habit. Nowadays these women could be any layman–Nancy Pelosi even.
I bet they don’t even carry those clicker things they always used to remind us of the “silence in the halls” rule.

In relation to acardnal’s comment, wouldn’t it be great if the Democrats were on the same bus … Oh, but wait …!
