Is it possible that this was a sort of Freudian-slip reference to the late Rev. Canaan Banana, Methodist minister and former President of Zimbabwe? Cursory Googling brought up the following, from the Manchester Guardian’s 2003 obituary of Rev. Banana:
“Though soft-spoken, he made his mark in liberation theology with a book entitled The Gospel According To The Ghetto, and his version of the Lord’s Prayer, which included the lines “Teach us to demand our share of the gold/ And forgive us our docility.””
Sometimes real life really is stranger than fiction.
wow, kneeling to the Ayatollah?
Kind of ironic, isn’t it?
Yep, this is a ‘banana’, all right….
Ceci n’est pas une banane.
Maybe Bugnini was known in the Lodge as Banana.
BTW, some years ago I knew a priest in the Vatican diplomatic corps who had been posted in Iran. He said that Bugnini had built a traditional chapel there–with the altar was against the wall.
robtbrown, it’s encouraging that Bugnini understood the rubrics of the Missale he created.
Though it would have taken much grace, and courage, I would like to think I would have stood and not kneeled before such a maniac.
The “B” word evokes such feelings it can truly ruin one’s day…
Kneeling to the Ayatollah? That is just so….what would the martyrs think?
Oriana Fallaci had a lot more courage. She ditched the chador they gave her while interviewing the Ayatollah. I can’t imagine her ever kneeling to him. And she was a self-proclaimed atheist (although surely she must have just been confused. God is merciful.)
Buon’anima.
Can we all pray that we never bow to those who are not true representatives of Christ? The day may come when we are in Oriana Fallaci’s place. She was a great woman and I pray for her. As to Bugnini, who knows what he was thinking. Perhaps, let us give him the benefit of the doubt, he was protecting the Catholics in Iran, who are still persecuted and ignored by the media. As to his liturgical destruction, that is another story…
