“Given that Rorate Coeli and Shea are mad at Fr. Z, I think it proves Fr. Z knows what he is doing and he is right.”

"Let me be clear. Fr. Z is a shock jock, mostly. His readership is vast and touchy. They like to be provoked and react with speed and fury."

Liturgical Paintball Gun – LOVE it! What’s the latin name for that?
“Let us rise and pray, that the gifts we bring to this altar: our prayers, financial…” {SPLAT} “…I mean, my sacrifice and yours…”
HA!
use of a liturgical paintball gun might call for a whole new entry on “berettaquette”
Perhaps a Airsoft Liturgical Beretta. Less messy that way.
correction “an” Airsoft Liturgical Beretta. If you MUST use a Beretta, at least use the Liturgical model. I personally prefer a Liturgical Model 1911.
Those batons are dangerous!From Wikipedia: “(Jean Baptiste) Lully died from gangrene, having struck his foot with his long conducting staff during a performance of his Te Deum to celebrate Louis XIV’s recovery from surgery.” Sic transit gloria mundi.
Now I know where all my band directors got it from! I had one who used to keep a few flute cleaning rods within reach to throw at anyone who wasn’t watching.
I had another one who would get mad and throw her baton at you if you were off beat, not watching, or some other musical mortal sin like being a saxophonist.
I remember my musicology teacher, Sister Xavier Mary Courvoisier, SNMJ (RIP, Sister) telling the story of French Composer and Maître du Choeur Jean-Bapitste Lully, who was using the Bacula to pound out the meter and keep the singers from dragging the tempo… he hit is own toe, and died of the resultant infection.
I vote for the return of the Verger!
Specifically, I vote for the return of the Verger Who Whacks Habitual Latecomers to Mass With a Big Stick.

Versum, “Virgam potentiae tuae emittet Dominus ex Sion: dominare in medio inimicorum tuorum” cantabant. (Ps. CX, versus ii.)
Salutationes omnibus.
Is this the ‘Baculus’ of various lively mediaeval Latin songs?
I recently heard one of these mentioned…interesting…I think a liturgical paintball gun would be much easier. With the proper liturgically colored paint, of course.
