The only thing that would make this better is if they also were wearing saturnos. HERE
I received this from a reader…
The annual firing of the “potato cannon” with the men of Our Lady of Guadalupe Seminary in Denton, Nebraska! [FSSP] With Bishop James D Conley, The Ninth Bishop of the Catholic Diocese of Lincoln.
Are we supposed to guess what they were shooting at? I could think of a few appropriate targets.
I’m guessing Kansas?
These pictures need video.
Well, it’s not an edged weapon!
Boys….
Potato bazooka?
“I’m guessing Kansas?”
Looks like they’re out in front of Apostle’s Hall, on the south side of the building, and the Hall is to the east of the chapel — so it looks like Bishop Conley has declared war on Iowa.
Good to see seminarians having fun! Priests deserve to have fun too and for the last nine years there has been a ‘Padre Cup’ in France when Priests compete in go-karting competitions. Some even en soutane though saturnos would not be advisable as they career around the course!
It may be better with saturni, but just that, the saturnos, and not the standing around admiring in the mirror part…which involved only one allegedly rigid worldly fellow…but could easily have been a rigid worldly fellow who stood around admiring his liturgical undergarments before saying the weekday OF, no?! Of which there could be more than one. But I digress.
With their cassocks and saturnos, the Catholic world is better for their action! It’s too bad there aren’t even more of them around, to take on parish leadership in many more areas in the U.S. One can continue to pray.
P.S., There are also some great photos going around Facebook this week of some young Dominican friars in full habit and hockey gear playing hockey outside in Alaska going around Facebook. Pray for more of them also, that they may take on many more schools and parishes and apostolates!
Perhaps they’re taking aim at the 1973 ICEL.
Then again, a colleague points out that Fr. Fox and Confitebor could be on to something- Kansas and Iowa might be coveting Nebraska’s wheat crop.
Love my Fraternity priests.
I’m sure that, like the crew of a man-o-war, nothing bring a seminary together like exercising the great guns.
would have been more fun if they had targets from the Fishwrap.
